The world is a serious place these days with awful things happening to good people. We care what is going on, but we can feel swamped by negative feelings if we aren’t careful. Being curious, learning, expanding our world instead of allowing it to implode gradually, and PLAYING – seeing the humor in situations, the fun to be had each and every day, will not only allow us to survive, but thrive. What will you do that will bring a smile to your face today?

This is my latest painted sketch.

I’m having a gloriously quiet day today. I’ve been painting, plus reading a bit, and now writing blog posts. I’m lucky I have so many fun things to do and not enough time to get everything I want to IN!

I had my windows open this morning. The temperature is now 81 degrees and it’s pretty windy. It’s cloudy, as well. I opened all the windows and gloried in the beautiful breeze for quite awhile. Since the ‘hazy season’ seems to be on its way, I’m keeping an eye on the Chiang Mail Air Pollution Real-Time Monitor so I close up and turn on the air filters in my place before I have any problems. (The haze is caused by farmers here and in neighboring countries burning the crop residue to clear their fields for the coming planting season.)

I will start looking for images I can draw for a picture for my husband for St. Patrick’s Day. He seems to enjoy it when I bring these, and the nursing home is very kind in letting me put them up on the wall so he can see them, that I will try to plaster his wall with love every chance I get.

I hope those of you getting snow and ice are able to stay warm and dry and safe. I keep sending messages to Mother Nature, but I think she has her hands over her ears.
