THINGS

This post is in response to feeling a bit stagnat artistically. And with this state comes a bit of depression...I'm fighting back! The artistic life is a tortured one isn't it? But I feel it doesn't have to be. I hope my list inspires you to think, be thoughtful, and be thankful. Please leave a list of your own.

Things I Stand In Awe Of

Bright stars in the sky at night

The morning after a fresh rain

The delicacy of a butterfly’s wings

The vast variety of plants

Shade trees and fresh cut green grass

The wind on a sunny spring day

The seemingly endless variety of animal life

Leaves blowing in the wind

Watching others create

Watching blades of grass being pushed over by a strong wind

Things That Are Good

The smell of fresh paint on canvas

Creating something new

The sounds of an audience laughing

The feel of new clothes against my skin

Watermelon on a hot summer day

Influencing someone else's talent 

Candy that sticks to your mouth

Things That Trigger A Found Memory

Running through tall grass

Red balloons

1950s pennies

Eating cereal on Saturday morning

Walking on the beach at sunset

Watching 4^th Of July fireworks over the pier

Saltwater taffy at the county fair

Running with a new pair of tennis shoes

Riding a two-seated bike by the lake

Fishing with crickets

Riding bikes in the redwood forest
