The Weekend and Today

Had a "Sketchy Night" on Friday night, where I invited some 20-somethings (Becky, Elizabeth, Samantha, Amy) to pencil sketch the night away. They are very good artists. Me, however, still a budding artist searching for what's inside of me to come out on the paper. Becky served us food from a vast array of snack foods. I stayed up late after they left and kept sketching til my eyes crossed.

Saturday we went up river to Bristol and had lunch with Jonathan -- just Doug and I. 'Twas nice. Alicia and the children were down here in Superior City at the Clay Cafe, for cousin's birthday party. After lunch, Doug and I drove to Coldstream, wherever that is, to have coffee with the Pirate and Marie, and the other Pirate came and visited awhile (Richard). You don't hear much of the other Pirate, 'cause he's always traveling across the country in his transport truck.

Sunday was a full day of activity and people: Morning Gate Church music, lunch at Frank's with the Jolly Green and his wife, rock band practice at Kim and Peter's (yes, it's that time of year again - for our Christmas party band), a stop at Grace Memorial Church to watch youth band practice, and then to Pizza Delight with B & L. The day was certainly filled to the max, but isn't every day? I am so excited that I have energy again, but must remember to pace myself, I know, I know...

Today was more relaxed. I even had time to go to the gym for an hour and work out. Then to painting with Granny and the gals. They were so helpful and not standing over me barking out orders. Much less stressful than my Tuesday painting fiasco. Not sure if I'll go back there or not, but I suppose I'll have to or she'll say I quit, and I'm not a quitter. But perhaps I'll take a break from it instead! Not sure if I like the whole watercolour thing. I actually like pen and ink with a watercolour wash, and tried some of that today. Know what I'm talkin' about?

Had a good teaching night. Music is art, too. Now I'm not making any sense, so I better stop.

Enjoy life. Live each day. Don't worry about tomorrow.

Today's thought:

Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you. At least that's what the Bible says. I have everything I need.
