So what are I about right now? Let's see...
I'm about:
wanting to beg/borrow or steal (ha!) art books and magazines to fire my imagination over the summer.
having coffee at Starbuck's with friends
making connections
delving deeper
learning to deal with stress better
rising above
letting go of everything that no longer serves me
enjoying Indy, my dog, my shadow, my sweet little love
waiting for autumn
textiles
soothing my soul with music (The Wailin' Jennys are being played the most at the moment.)
circles
hands
Caren D'arche crayons
vintage aqua
collecting journals but not writing in them (Strange but true.)
papering my life with post-it notes
making rhubarb crisp from rhubarb grown in my organic garden
bracelets
being at loose ends
wanting to wander the forest
beach combing
making do
contemplating my next move
simplifying
being still inside
The summer stretches before me and it's one big question mark. Some people find winter challenging. For me it's summer. I don't do well with heat (I now know that's an MS thing) and everyone goes away and it's just kinda lonely. I've never liked summer. I can't wait for it to be over.
I have this odd urge to sew pillows and pillow cases. I have no idea why-it's not like I need pillows or anything, but that's what I've been thinking about making. I've keep thinking about making a talisman of some sort. I've begun chipping away at a small zine for an exchange. It's crazy-I have these ideas, but when it comes to working on something, I just don't feel like it. I am searching for my motivation. It will come back to me eventually, on way or another.
So I will tag a few folks, but no pressure. Link back to me so I can see what you wrote. Write a comment here so people can go see your list. Like Catherine, I am interested to see what comes of it.

Fingers crossed that you are on board for the Olympics (both)...like a dream come true!!
And fingers crossed that the s/e's from the chemo aren't as bad this round...ginger (candies, cookies, tea) helps with nausea and pinching the skin between your thumb and forefinger at the first sign of your stomach starting can also help.
I love it when you make these lists...I'm going to do one for Tuesday!! You inspire me so much!
I love your list. I'm picturing you with each sentence and you are interesting.
I don't like summer much either. Hate the heat when it comes. It makes me feel so tired until I get used to it. I hide downstairs where it's cooler.
Yes, circles and vintage aqua!
I think I have some books to share. Wait for the mail.

This was a great exercise and I thank both you Lelainia and Catherine for this prompt.
I realize that I am at a plateau in my life...I could feel it but writing it down made it so much plainer for me to see.
here's the link!

I'm just lifting my head to take a look around after being out of the loop for some time. I'll be posting my responses to your tag when I return from my trip. It looks intereesting.
Take care dear!
