Today's a new day

After an extremely stressful day at work yesterday I am looking forward to some quality time with my family today. It is a beautiful spring day and Jordan, my son, has soccer practice and my daughter, Mariah, has a riding lesson. I hope to expel any leftover stress from work and enjoy today. Maybe this evening I may work on some PMC earrings I have been making in my head. My days never go as planned so we'll see. I made everyone a good breakfast and all is well for the moment. My poodles are extremely dirty and desperately need a bath. They need to go to work with me tomorrow to become white again. My posts seem few and far between but I never have had a journal before and I'd like to use this blog as one. I am not where I want to be in my life. I am not where I should be and am not quite sure how I got here. All I know is that I want it to change. I enjoy what time I can with my kids ( like today) and do the best I can each day. I have faith that a better future will come my way because I do deserve it. I have attached a picture of my favorite boy and his poodle ( "Star"), just because it makes me smile.

excited, inspired

My artwork has been put on hold. My mind can only focus my attention on 1 interest at a time. Usually my mind buzzes with ideas I have for jewelry or collages. I even had an order of supplies come in and I still have not dug into them. I spent last weekend with my daughter at a natural horsemanship seminar. Horses are very important to me. Spending time with them is like going to church. there is something so spiritual about them. All my stress just goes whenI am with them. so learning to work with them in a way that makes them a partner to you and treats them with dignity & respect is exactly what I was looking for to work with our 5 yo thoroughbred. All these techniques we learned have been playing in my head over & over again. I can't wait to go and start applying what I learned and see what the horse thinks of all this and see if I can pull it off. We board our horse so I only see him 1-2 times a week. As the weather gets better we will go more. So my creating gets set aside until I am inspired to sit down again. But at least my mind is not idle. Hopefully it will not be too long before the ideas start flowing again.
