01-01-2013 I lived life differently today. I said yes to sloppy comfortable clothes and no to chores. I watched movies that were old and still kind of funny. I sat still long enough to feel the couch under my butt. I lived. It was a good day to be me.
When it was time to tuck our daughters in Isabelle asked me to stay a little longer with her at that moment I realized how completely blessed I am. Tonight I explained how I used to hold her in bed cradled in my arm when she was a tiny baby and how it still feels just as good now to hold her as it did then. I drew an art journal page to help recapture what technology failed to do for us.

This is really very sweet and I love how you captured your memory when the phone failed. I love technology, but drawing or painting our memories has a beautiful magic all their own. Happy New Year! :)
This is so sweet. I find it hard as well to stop in one place during the day. It is one of my aims for 2013 - happy new year mary x
What a sweet day, and what a sweet story! I agree that art you can hold in your hands, or a written journal, is better than their techno counterparts!
Ahhhhhh! I love that Mary! What a beautiful memory you have captured!!
I always enjoy your art and your musings.
