Hello Lovely ! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for stopping by!
Welcome to this new Gratitude Friday! Feel free to share with me your (partial or full) gratitude moments in the comments; that way I can hold joy for you ✿ (you know that makes me happy to make you happy).
I have to admit that even though it is not chronic, I often have a bit of an issue with change. This is not change itself that creates anxiety, but the unknown.
See, my Husband just started a new job. After a bit over 9 years working for Electronic Arts, first in Vancouver then here in Montréal, he decided to take a different route. And I applaud him for it, because it is not easy to go from what you comfortably know to something else.
This week, I am thankful for:
- Our plumbery issues are now fixed
- This week’s adjustment did not go as bad as I thought it would
- I ate lunch every day (which I tend to skip when alone)
- Walking with my daughter to her school in the morning
- Waking up earlier, it feels good
- My Mom’s clean health report for her breast cancer (now going on the last year before she’s officially in remission)
- My fanart painting of Billie Eilish being finally released
- Heat
- Daily journaling
- Making progress on the lotus painting that will go in our “Chill Out” room, completing a wall of Lotus paintings we started
Wow Nolwenn, your husband worked for Electronic Arts! I love Electronic Arts via Pogo.com I even talked with one of their support men recently to get my games back. I wish him success in his new venture and of course change can be daunting.
I am thankful I had a full day yesterday with no aches or pains in my body.
I have a free day to do what I want except for meals.
I found some drawings I did back in the 60s and surprised myself by them. I didn’t realize how good my sketches were.
I am thankful the 90 degree heat is easing up and it will be cooler.
I am thankful I read this blog and hope you have a good week.
I love your list!
I am very happy that you had great customer service on pogo.com
Maybe you could re-work some of these older sketches and see where they take you. Could be fun to compare what 50 years make as a difference
That is so cool that he worked for EA!!! My S.O. worked for Sony for a few years, now he works for Nintendo. It’s always a great conversation starter when someone asks “what do you do for a living”. Wishing your hubby much success on his new adventure.
I agree, change is never easy no matter what it is or how it comes about.
Wonderful news about your mom!!
I love the lotus flower. I wish I could draw one, but it never comes out quite right. I really liked that stencil you used in the one video. I need to find something like that.
It’s a very great conversation started for sure!
Stencils are amazing
I own several lotus stencils because each artist/brand draws them differently so I have access to different styles. I love drawing them, too. I start from the middle petal and go from there. It’s never perfect but I am actually okay with that.
I love your gratitude posts!
I am grateful for better health, with enough energy to actually read and respond to blog posts after being bedridden almost a month
I am grateful for the help I had when I was sick
I am grateful for the warmth that I missed coming in while I was sick
I am grateful for life.
I am grateful that you are feeling better, a month of being bedridden is really long.
Thank you for sharing with me <3
