has been a great companion and I've also had some great conversations with friends and family. Everyone is safe, so that's the main thing. I'm still dealing with grief, but it is different now. It isn't keeping me from being happy, if that makes sense. I have had my fill of snow.
. I've been doing a great deal of work in video editing. Frankly I love the solice for that. It's a perfect scenario. I start another course in a couple of weeks, so I will then be trained in all of the major video editing software tools used in the industry. Yay-- who would have thought. Also been working on this giant painting. The cables are hard to paint but I'm slowly progressing. I have more bridge paintings planned. Excited.
Painting makes me happy. I'm lucky to have it as a side interest. Anyway, I haven't turned into a crazy person. Although I feel like I look like it now. I won't display a picture of how I look today. I've been wearing the same t-shirt for two days and I have on faded pajama pants. but hey- this is my home office uniform.
Goals for 2016. Finish my second film,
Set dates for filming next project
finish my series of "structures" paintings for upcoming art show
be more organized
continue losing weight (a little challenging this weekend)
cut out carbs
move forward and appreciate the silver linings (even the bad stuff has silver linings)
There is joy to be found in anything. Sometimes its a skill that's hard to maintain. I will keep trying. I am very blessed with two beautiful boys, a great job, wonderful life-long friends, a loving family and lots and lots of great projects on my plate. I've enjoyed this cozy house this weekend in the snow and I generally have good health. These are all priceless.
