...those creative juices

Last night...I painted!
It's been a long time since I have gone to a painting class.
I jumped on the chance to meet a friend there. :-)

So... We talked, caught up, painted... Ya' know, the typical night.
I think I did ok.
I am no artist!
BUT, I decided to hang this - plus, all my (just okay) paintings in my bathroom.
Do I think I am great?
HECK no!
But, it is MY bathroom. And, I can. And, well... I want to!
:-)


Painting makes me happy...
(too bad it looks like a kindergartner!)

Other news:
I finished February's reading in "The Happiness Project".
I'll give you one guess what Feb. was about....
Marriage.
How to stay in love. How to give appreciation (and not expect it in return). How to fight fair.
I put that book down....

Started a new one - thanks for the borrow AJ; I'll try to not keep it for 2 years...
CRAZY LOVE
Amazon description: "God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it? It’s crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you’ve verbalized it yet or not...we all know somethings wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts—it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything."
