CHEERS to the Day 01/15/2018









Time, year, month, day, hour, the captured moment...
sit down to catch my breath after walking out of the medical clinic...
look around and find this "painting" at my feet...
many surprising details as i study the make-up of it...
someone else's work, but what a composition the camera made of it.



Cutting cardboard patterns of windows this morning to use in/on/with future collages...
Mr. King Jr. day, the usual office's closed for the day...
how many people really know why they might have the day OFF...

TV on for no one, not even the dog to watch... sound effects...
clipping finger nails that i never use to have...
dentures fit well but makes it harder to bite my nails short...

Pellet stove keeping the house at the right temp for a warm winter day...
one hour cinnamon rolls being constructed in the kitchen... smell...
trying to get some collage work going... sifting through ideas, big and small.



Christmas through New Year's collage complete...
have to put together some blanks to collage & draw on
eating cookies for lunch... feeding the dog as well...

waiting for final Retirement $$$$$....
waiting for call to pick-up new car...
waiting for the snow to fall, late this year...

some days are more exciting then others...
usually a nap about this time of day...
retirement takes patience...

Cheers to this day...
everyday is a holiday, except Sunday...
that is still the Lords Day.
CHEERS

a few new years thoughts 2018...

NEW YEARS DAY 2018...
one drive about town this morning...
everything is as it was the day before...
even thought i went to bed before the witching hour of midnight...
the change in the new year is more with me personally...
no "job" now retired and looking to that change...
trying to deal with that issue for the first time in my life...
it sure is different then quitting a job...
it's a different way of seeing and interacting with the world about me...
many things to do, but with a different mind set...
and of course still things "expected" of me to do, personally, and from 
those around me... do i stay with old habits or create new...
still working with the retirement process to fall into place...
that process does not work at my speed or way of getting things done...
must take a hint from the dogs life... patience and a nap... and keep
my finger on the heart beat of whats coming and going each day...
stay close to the truth of life, read scriptures each morning to set the tone
for the day and then work from there...
seek for help, ideas, inspiration from our higher source each day...
keep my daily journal and sketch books current each day and look for 
new daily patterns to work on some art...
brown winter grass outside, new roof half on, holiday lights to get down...
new tv to mount on the wall, old furniture to pass on, and new to come
into the house, waiting for a car to cross the pond, short cut across 
the panama ditch and land in california and come to utah...
other then these few things to wait and act on, nothing to do...
again as i have noticed before change is the constant in life...
learn from yesterday live today and hope for tomorrow...
