I've been getting out and doing some painting from my car
no more excuses
maybe my word for the year is:
justdoit

| january 5th |

I'm getting into the swing of it
it's about an hour of my time in the morning
and I can feel my brain loosening up
... my eyes opening
it's a difficult time of year up here
(translate: d e p r e s s i n g)
and if you're not looking for the beauty it's just gloomy and gray
but honestly,
it's amazing how much color there is lurking in the gray
