I've not been posting every day but...

I still think about things I'm grateful for every day so it's a start, haha.
  • I have a booth at the pottery festival next week! I can sell more than just pottery, and Chandra is also in on it with me. :) I hope we sell our scarves!
  • There is another venue I can sell my work at on the 19th that I have to call about Tuesday.
  • Mom's putting a little money in my account Tuesday. (that doesn't happen often! haha)
  • I made myself some copper tunnels for me ears. Now I can wear regular earring hooks in them. :)
  • I'm excited that we only have about 2 more months of Bush in the white house, haha.
  • I found great scrap copper!
  • I have plenty of scrap silver for casting later this semester.
  • I'm very motivated to make things for the festival.
  • I got to talk to Becca on the phone this morning.
  • I miss my kitty Pony SO much but I know she is being taken care of while I'm away.
  • An acquaintance let me borrow a phone for my room since my usual one doesn't work right.
  • The green tea from the campus food place is yummy!
  • My aloe plant is growiiing, wee! It was so pitiful when I got it and now it's starting to look so much better.

I'm grateful that....

  • I got almost everything on my to-do list done today (and it was a huge list)!
  • Tomorrow will be easier.
  • I purchased my first moleskine journal today.
  • I know the direction I want to take in ceramics and am excited to get started.
  • I have everything I need from the bookstore, and one of those is a cork board. I am going to fill it with goals and stuff and look at it every day for motivation.
  • My umbrella is huge.
  • I'm slowly working on simply concentrating on "the moment" instead of stressing about getting "here" or "there". For example, worrying about walking to class and just wanting to GET there instantly. Or dreading a task because I'm worrying about getting to the end result and letting it overwhelm me. I'm trying to just enjoy the walk without thinking about getting there, and taking tasks one step at a time. "It's the journey, not the destination" so to speak. Or maybe "wherever you go, there you are" hahaha.
  • It's bed time!
