the innate sense of purpose and direction in my life is this: to love others and help them become whomever it is they are to become. to nurture and inspire the loving creative nature of people-whomever i encounter-so that they, in turn, might some day do the same for others, regardless of their chosen profession or path in life.
eventually i want to make a career out of offering art experiences, crafty adventures, creative fellowship, and the like to those who are lacking such outlets in their lives.

portrait of a sick day

so after getting back from visiting with my family, a nasty sickness bug has taken up residence in my chest and sinuses and i find myself stranded on my couch. i've set up my medicine and entertainment supplies on my coffee table as i rarely have the energy to move.

as much as anyone loves to stay home from work on a day that they are feeling under the weather, it's hella boring staying in my apartment on the couch all day. i think the thing that makes it unbearable the most is not having the energy to do ANYTHING. i had to give myself a pep talk just to get up to go to the bathroom!

i remember being sick when i was a kid--i got strep throat a lot when i was young--i would lay on the couch trying to remember what it felt like to be normal and not sick. i remember thinking that i would give ANYTHING to feel normal again.

that's how i feel today. here's to hoping tomorrow is better...

Glad to have found your blog. Hope your feeling completely better. I too will try to imagine feeling better when I am sick (or have a nasty canker sore). In the midst of illness it seems like it will last forever and when I am well I take it for granted.
