Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

Book I finished listening to this week:
Body and Mind Are One: A Training in Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh – LOVED it! If you have Audible, check it out. It’s read by Thich himself. Or rather, it’s him speaking to an audience in several of his public talks.
Started to listen to..
Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond: A Meditator’s Handbook by Ajahn Brahm – Also, gets a LOVE from me. It’s not read by Ajahn Brahm, tho, sadly..and also, none of the usual Ajahn jokes so far. It’s still awesome tho.
Have a lovely weekend. 🙂

Feeling a bit grungy today, and listening to Nirvana. Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be, as a friend, as an old enemy. Ah..it never gets old.

I lost 12 pounds the hard way
I haven’t left the house in days. This photo is to remind me there is a world out there. The lake is just up the street, really it is. I’ve been sick as a dog for 2 weeks..the flu. I fought it for days, and then finally gave in. I only meant to go downstairs to take a nap, but I slept for 6 days straight. I could not get up. For someone who never sleeps more than 4 or 5 hours a night, it was heavenly..except for the part about being sick. ugh. I lost 12 pounds. I lost my voice. I coughed a lot. I completely missed Christmas. :/
I am back at work now, but I’m taking it easy. I’m not fully well yet, so I’m not going to push myself. I still plan on doing the 30 paintings in 30 days, and blogging every day in January. For the first few days, I’m going to post the paintings I finished just before getting sick. You haven’t seen them yet, so it will be new stuff, and it will give me time to get back into the swing of things behind the scenes. Leslie says it’s fine to paint ahead, so it’s not like I’ll be cheating. lol
New paintings on my work tables a couple weeks ago.

She’s still a work in progress. I’ll blog the finished painting sometime next month.
It’s good to be back among the living, or should I say, the awake and well? Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!! I’m going to rest up, and I’ll see you in a couple days.
