I'm not feeling very well today. I wish I could snuggle up with myself and take a nap.

365 Project: Day 15
This is my journal. It amazes me that a little book of paper could be so important to me. Its a huge part of my life and I usually have it with me wherever I go. I have kept a journal since I was 12 or 13. That's when I feel like my life started to get complicated and the only thing I could do was write about it. Writing helps me sort out my thoughts in a way that makes sense to me. Most of the time there are so many things going on in my head that its difficult to think clearly. Journaling calms me and forces me to focus. I get lost in the writing. I can (and do) write in my journal for hours sometimes. Just a stream of consciousness about whatever is on my mind that day.
I also put keepsakes in it. Its full of ticket stubs, pictures, matchbook covers...anything that reminds me of something special that happened that day. There have even been times when I didn't have my journal with me and felt like writing so I just grabbed a napkin, scrap paper, whatever was available and wrote on that. Those little pieces of my thoughts are taped into the pages of this book. I'll flip through my old journals sometimes just to see where I was at that time in my life. Its interesting to see how I have grown and changed over the years.
If you don't keep a journal, I highly recommend that you at least try it. Let me know how it goes.

365 Project: Day 13
It finally got cold enough over the weekend that I started pulling my winter clothes out of storage. I was living in California the last two winters so I haven't really gotten to wear any of my favorite sweaters since I was living in Boston. I missed them!

365 Project: Day 12
A couple of days ago the flusher broke on my toilet. I've been having to reach into the tank and flush it by hand all weekend. I finally went and bought a new part for it today. Thank you Dad for teaching me from a young age how to be self-reliant and fix things myself.

365 Project: Day 11
Ok, I admit it. I'm addicted to coffee. I love everything about it: the sound of it brewing, the smell, the taste, the warmth. But some days, like today, I swear my coffee maker is just toying with me. It knows how much I want a cup and it takes its sweet time. Working extra slowly...drip...drip...drip...and I sit, cup in hand, staring at it in anticipation of that first sip.
Halloween Sale!
I am so excited for Halloween next weekend. It is my FAVORITE holiday! So I am offering 15% off your entire order all week next week in my Etsy shop.

365 Project: Day 10
There is no better way to multitask than to take today's 365 picture while I'm packing up orders. I had more to do today than I realized. Sometimes the only way to get things done is to spread them out on the floor like when you were a little kid and just go for it.

365 Project: Day 8
Its a cloudy, gloomy day outside and I have been listening to John Coltrane all morning. This moody black and white portrait was bound to happen today. If you've never listened to Coltrane, do yourself a favor and get yourself a copy of something, anything that he played. You won't be sorry.

365 Project: Day 7
I wish every day was like this: sundresses, comfy, freshly-made beds, pink toenails, sunny days and new library books.

Rollin' On a River
This is a new print available in my Etsy shop. I love how the Polaroid captured this river. It looks so peaceful flowing through the hills.
