ZOELAB DAY 63

It’s a new month, (my favorite) and the beginning of a new season. The busy-ness is upon me. Weddings and such. I wish I had more time to commune, relax, create, share on here. But in the spirit of keeping up, and not letting perfection get in my way, here is a list that sums up last month for me:

 

discovered new (for me) art form : 

illustrations using watercolor or gauche and fine pen!

 

discovered other new art form:

(photographic chronological autobiography)

 

got through summer and am enjoying early fall weather

 

Didn’t get any sewing done

 

Got to re-connect with old friends through internet

 

Discovered some amazing blogs

 

Found new ways to bring new readers to this blog

(through my grad school)


Received encouraging comments

 

Gave up sugar

 

Got sick and recovered twice

 

Experiencing the full circle contagion of inspiration

 

 

Is this daily project of ZOELAB increasing my happiness and creativity and connection to self and others?

 

YES

 

Is it creating a challenge with my relationship

with my family and housework?

 

YES

 

Is it worth it?

 

YES
