Daily Face: December 24th

Happy Christmas Eve! We are getting tons of Georgia Snow. I need to go out one more time before I start my cooking my Christmas Dinner. Three of my four daughters will be home for the big day. We have a new addition to our family his name is Davis Richardson our grandson. He is the cutest baby ever.

This morning on the Today Show, (which my husband likes to watch while we eat breakfast together) did a recap of the top stories of 2015. All of them were negative. I was already feeling emotional and that pushed me over the top. My husband thankfully turned it off and gave me a hug.

Ten more days before Christmas and how many gifts have I purchased? ZERO! I am way off my game. Years ago when I had small children I was finished before November would come.
I think it might be because I want it to mean more than presents, but just being together and having a good time.

Some people might say that this was not a good hair day for pictures. I think we all have a picture day with a not so cute hair style. It reminds me of my 5th grade picture. I had on my favorite suede 2 piece suit. The vest had fringe and the pants were belled-bottoms. My mom had my ponytail in a bun with nice little curls around the edges. Well I missed the bus and walked to school it started to rain. My hair was ruined. I tried to fix it but to no avail. Everyone laughed at my picture.

My morning run of 6 miles this morning was exhilarating. I read a book of poetry and quotes called To See a World in a Grain of Sand. I like this quote from Josh Billings "Life consists not in holding good cards but playing those you do hold well."
 My life is not perfect, but I am thankful to God, and try to be happy each day no matter what difficulty I am facing. When I smile instead of frown I feel so much better. It does not take away my problems but gives me hope of a better tomorrow.

Had a great 5 mile run this morning. It was 37 degrees. There is something to be said about being up before dawn and running. It's so peaceful. the air was brisk. It felt so good.
When my husband and I pulled up to the trail this morning, I was happy to see that there were other "crazies" out to run. I call us crazies because that is what it takes to get up at 5 am to get a run in before your work day.

Daily Face: December 4th and Office Decoration

 Made it to another Friday. I passed my last 2 finals for this quarter. My office is decorated for the holidays, only 2 more weeks of school.

Daily Face: December 3rd.

Started morning with a great run. Work went smoothly. However when I got home I just wasted time. I should be reading, decorating for holidays, organizing closets, cleaning up my home office.

I had a hands on exam today. Of course I froze. I thought I would just have to show that I knew what I was doing, not tell them. But I made it. Tomorrow I have a really big exam, that I'm not quite ready for.

Feeling a little better today. It was a slow day at work. I was able to get some reading in. I love this shirt this young lady was wearing. Glad it is Friday!

Daily Face: November 5th

I'm not feeling 100% today. I hope I'm not coming down with anything.

Had a good day: work, pass out candy to students who didn't have a stomach ache complaint when they visited my office, organized for my decluttering client, went to football game, came home finished watching Project Runway.

 Finally a day to catch up on portraits. Its getting close to my immunization audit at school and I'm working really hard to get 100% immunization on all students. I really wish I had more time to draw, however these little daily drawings do add up to a body of work over time.

Daily Face: October 23rd

I drew this on Friday but did not get to post it. Today I did not have an opportunity to squeeze in a student portrait. Hopefully tomorrow I will get to draw 2 portraits. Overall it was a good Monday.

I am a day behind. I have to catch up on the work I did not do over the weekend.

Daily Face: October 13th

I came across a little book of poems today, one chapter is entitled "Never Borrow Sorrow from Tomorrow" I really like that little phrase.
Here are my thoughts: So let us all live for today, do your very best, count your blessings and let God take care of the rest.
