Good morning coaches
I put one of my paintings as my avatar so you can see the last painting I did in my spaceman series. He's waving hi to all you Becksters!
So. The weather is mirroring my sunny disposition this morning. It's very summery out. AND I stepped on the scale to see it say 249! I am
so under 250 it's crazy
I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to see a non-250 number. Credit my body for it's superb metabolic functioning.
I am still filled with joy recalling this past school year. It makes me so happy to be studying art. I feel like I am
getting away with something. It's way more delicious than any food I can think of. Another thought that keeps coming to me about my future won't let me be. I have been considering looking into being an art therapist. I had this in mind before I started school and it's still there. I was backing away from it for a while because I thought "oh then you're doing that and you're not making art" but it dawned on me that a good decent paying job can be done part time, doesn't have to full time, and it will be enough $, and it would be. I went through some career counselling the year I started school as I was laid off from a grocery store job (the gods were so good to me) which made me eligible foir free counselling, and they suggested that I "job shadow" someone in that field to see if I would like to do that or not. Art Therapists are few and far between. BUT there is one about 2 hours away. I think I may send her an email and just introduce myself. What do you think? I may even be eligible for paid schooling because the government allows a "three year reach back" and it will be three years since being lid off when I graduate next year.
That would be remarkable. I keep it close to my heart though, and will look into it when the time comes to do that.
So that's where I am at today. I was going to go into the school and start the studio clean up but have decided to put that off until Monday and instead soak up the sun and do nothing, except one chore that is a pleasant bus ride away. Yay!
BillBlueEyes Thanks for the kudos. For non-food rewards I was thinking of getting a pair of super-fancy sandals. Gold and glittery and over the top is what I am looking for... oh and cheap! Think I can get all that?? we shall see. Otherwise, I may treat myself to a book. I saw an autobiography of Kevin Smith (filmaker/director/famous slacker) that looked good. Good for you for getting your walk in while doing something that needed to be done. That's my all-time favorite way to get exercise. I did that this week too. Kudos you and me! BTW I'd walk 5000 steps for a banana too.
AnnCan1111 Oh the weather! it's been fantastic here too and I was out raking and bagging leaves up and planning my little garden. I fenced the cat into the yard by adding a tiny fence to bridge the gap between the existing fence and her escape routes underneath it. I'm hoping this also keeps the larger rodentia away as well: skunks, racoons, groundhogs... will not keep a squirrel out though. My kitty will not jump up onot the fence like other cats do so she is not wandering this year beyone the yard. Yay! She doesn't care and I feel better. Anyway, I digress. Hope you enjoy another good day today!
gahundy You have a busy emotional day ahead of you. I hope it goes well and that you also have some great sun-shiny weather you can let in the house as you clean up... all the best to you today!
