how books and doodles make a difference

hello folks.


A few gifts from Amazon... from me, to me. :-)
The best kind.


When i was younger, i was full of questions.

Curious about everything from
why is the sky blue
to how do we know to breathe
to why do so many people wear fur coats in church. ;-)

Mom would answer most of my questions,
but whenever she got tired of the asking,
or no longer knew how to answer,
she would simply say:

"c'est un mystère de la vie"
(it's one of life's mysteries)



So when i saw this book,
you just know i had to buy it, right?

Plus, i love the cover design. :-)


This morning, i did this quick doodle
with Sharpie markers on photo paper
and wrote this...


It feels good to write and draw and doodle.

It helps me make sense of my world,
the same way music does
or watching the sunset
or the moon,
or feeling the wind on my face.


Enjoy the day - whatever that means for you.

If you don't feel like being grateful, don't.
If you feel like venting for an hour, do.

In the end, it really doesn't matter.

As long as you're breathing... :-)

love to all of you...

Life isn't always logical... 
(a quick morning sketch - Sharpie marker on photo paper)



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.... :-)

coffee cup

Last night's quick Sharpie sketch. Perspective is really off on this one, but the point is:
I drew.  Is there anything sweeter than squeaky marker on glossy paper? :-)

doodle time!

I've discovered a new purpose for all those stacks of glossy photo paper I have hanging around the house. SHARPIE DOODLES!!  It's a perfect non intimidating size - 4" x 6" - and the marker glides so smoothly on the photo paper, it's a real treat. So whenever i have a few minutes to spare and i don't feel like painting a masterpiece, I doodle. I could do the dishes, or clean the house, but that's just boring.

I think doodling should be part of the school curriculum - right alongside meditation.
