Some of my favorite words of reminders. Often I get bogged down in "my things to do list " for the day. Having these words and other gentle reminders brings me back to ground. I am not in charge. To be loving in all I do ( having trouble with that one and my house chores...not loving the laundry today-but thankful for modern technology!) /with out hope and faith I wouldn't be where I am today.
What do these words bring to mind for you? What are some other favorites?

These three words are based on well believing is something no physically tangible so to speak but in the fact these are greater than we are and to have them makes life incredible I think. when any one is shaken we too can be quite shaken.

Passing time tangle doodling in ink and color

One of the things i have been doing to pass  the time here at the hopital with my son Zach is tangle doodling.  I enjoyed creating my Curly Chicken  for Illustration Friday the other week that I though I would try another bird.

With many beautiful tangle doodles and Zentangles(R) out there with color addition I tryed my hand at that too. Though I was happy with the ink work , adding prisma colored pencils I was affraid i would 'mess it up" with my color choices. I don't think it is to bad. I am not use to commiting to color like that. something I will push myself to do again.Just one of those comfort zones.
again this is taken at the hhopital on the windosill. Paper is white....

I have been working on Valentines day for the kids. I decided to try some hearts in the pattern art I have been doing lately. Again using my Pitt Artist penns and Pigma micron pens.

I  am ususally not a heart person but I really enjoyed these. I find the entire process of placing just the right pattern for an area challenging and fun. I 'm thinking there will be more hearts to follow.
