2020 is starting out more calm, more full of hope, more excited than any year since ... gosh ... well, let's just say that 2020 looks very good so far and ThePlan 2020 will be all about extending this goodness throughout the whole year. Weight wise I'm ready to explore a new lower weight for my acknowledged shorter body. If I either can't get there or don't like it when I do - hey - I don't have to stay. I'm about doing what the universe whispers to me (or bonks me on the head about) this year. ...

I'm just ready to say YES to the world in 2020.

    No snow at the moment, but we HAVE had snow -- and yes, I've worn my new bright red sheepskin boots with the rabbit fur ankle cuffs. So pretty, so warm and so cheering!!

    I loved your long comment! Yes, these 'Black Friday' things bring out some very extreme behaviours in people. I heard on the radio about how important it was to shop around - often you can find the 'sale' items somewhere else cheaper. And how, if you 'save £50' on something you weren't intending to buy, you've spent money you hadn't intended to spend anyway. My material needs are very few really - I am susceptible to books mostly......... but try to be sensible with those too!

    Doing art seems like it is mostly fun and fulfilling but at times I watch my DH struggle to find his motivation to sit and work. He has been taking a weekly online class and it has really helped his skill set to grow. Sometimes the assignment is not to his liking or his interest but everything helps to build up the skill set he can call on.

    Sounds like your latest wonderful portrait is a culmination of small successes that have helped you to be able to produce the work you want. I enjoy seeing your art.

    It is starting to be Fall here, the temperatures are now at a high of 65-70 during the day. Sweater Time!!!
