sketchbook project + tidbits on life


I started out not really knowing where i was going with this...


before i knew it, i was halfway done & had forgotten to take pics...
I guess art really does laugh in the face of "time".
:-)


So I may add a few little things to this, but you get the idea.
She has very thick hair & it's very windy :-)

On another note, i read something this morning
that I want to share with you all.
It was written by a woman who's worked in palliative care 
for most of her life.

She cares for people who only have a few days or weeks left to live.


Here are the 5 most common regrets of the dying:

1. I wish i'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish i didn't work so hard.

3. I wish i'd had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish i had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish i had let myself be happier.

No one said:

I wish i had made more money.
I wish i had won the argument.
i wish i had travelled less.
I wish i had been more perfect.

Think on these things today,
and live YOUR life.

Life isn't always logical...

I always love Starbucks' Christmas coffee cups... great, simple, clean design.



...and for those of you who dare, try the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
I think it's something like a million calories, but who's counting?
mmmmmmm.... :-)
