Grateful journal, Jan 3 2006

Peonies are so pretty and graceful and strong and bold all at the same time. I haven't seen one in real life, though.

Starting a paper trail

It feels good to leave thoughts as permanent ink marks on paper instead of pixels on screen. It's more... tangible. Looking at other people's journals, I realized how much art energy and creative chances and thoughts and ideas and time I've been wasting. This year i'll be keeping a *real* one, and I'll be starting with a Grateful Journal. Only feel good entries will be allowed. :)

But then there's this magnificent guy. Seeing his journals is like getting grabbed on the shoulders and shaken mercilessly! Makes me want to turn off the tv and draw away. Maybe after 63 years of journal-ing I'll be half as good as him...

(I can only wish.)
