sketches of my day May 2008 - Nov 2010

January 9, 2010

You

I am so happy that it is Saturday and the winter weather is something to see from my kitchen window instead of my car windshield. It is very cold here in the Deep South, 23 and feeling like 13. These are numbers we are not accustomed to. I froze my citrus trees last night to try to ensure their lives; I hope it works. I am thankful for this cold; I love the way nature reminds us that She is in charge of this planet.

I am still on this New Year, turning the page mentality. I scare myself sometimes because my thoughts can become radical (radical by my definition). I continually broaden my views and that is so good; I think I am the most accepting person I have ever been. I love that part of me, but it comes with a price. While it is good that I accept all others, it leaves the door open for me to accept all things about myself, like irresponsible thoughts of abrupt changes. As liberally as I want to view the world, I have made choices in my life that have given me responsibilities and I must remind myself of that. I suppose those free floating moments of youth never really leave us, those moments when you want to harness the wind and look life in the eye without fear or intimidation (or sense). I am not being very focused with my words, but I know my thoughts are having a mid life epiphany – how cliché’. I think what I am trying to do is do what I want to do and blow caution to the wind – more clichés’. I want to not be so responsible and I want to fill my days with doing art. There I said it. That will be another goal I have for this New Year. Anyway, I had to start my day making these words public.

Stay warm and true to you,

p.s.

This is why I post:

Seeing (5/4/08 - 2/18/12) There they were, as I walked along the sidewalk that time and drought had lifted and cracked, the first fireflies of summer. They were scattered throughout the dark woods and at the very moment I saw their iridescent magic. I watched as they blinked and I forgot, for a moment, all that might have been wrong and remembered, instead, all that was right.There should be a place somewhere in our lives that encourages us to reflect and to appreciate the extraordinary gifts of nature, along with the ordinary things that make up our lives. The more time passes, the more I understand how important it is to take notice of all the simple things that are woven into my day. I hope to continue to discover and, with this blog, share those things that are close to the Earth and there for us always, while we are busy looking somewhere else.

Saying (2/19/12 - ongoing)

I think today is the day things will change here on "sketches of my day". I started this blog to showcase positives in my day, a place that combatted the negativities we are constantly bombarded with and instead became a place where the sun shines all the time. Well, I am changing a bit, I want to just write with complete honesty instead –" sketches of my day " will be just that, snapshots from the day, real ones, – I don’t do this to be egotistical; I do it to be helpful. I know that it is always a good thing to read about others and identify with their situations and then take what you need for your own life – that’s networking and sharing. I suppose it may seem a bit narcissistic but it isn’t – I just like to write and I feel that if I didn’t write or paint I’d go crazy – I must and this blog is such a great place for me because I can just throw it out there and someone may or may not read it and if they do they may be inspired by it – it’s a winning deal. So, with all of that proclaimed, I will begin again with this collection of thoughts, consequent words and a scattering of paintings to share the sketches of my day… pam shensky
