Cleaning out My Studio

Wow! How did I collect so much stuff? Could it be the result of all those years of obsessive, impulsive shopping. Surely not. It is a little ridiculous. I could probably not buy another thing and have enough stuff to do an art project a day for a year. I will post pics when we are finished. My sweet daughter in law is leading this little clean up. I told her tonight that we should have taken before pictures and I offered to throw everything back on the floor, but she refused to have any part of that. Bummer. If anyone has some cool storage ideas for art supplies I would LOVE to hear about them. Hopefully we will be finished by craft night. Fingers crossed!

There are some who will have enough to eat and many many more who are hungry right now. I'm not talking about what we consider hungry. The "I think I need a snack hungry." I don't even know if I can describe it because I haven't ever felt it. They will cry, but many have given up the act of crying because it didn't do any good. It didn't change anything. No one came. No one came and patted their backs with reassurance that they were not alone. This is happening right now in every country. My heart aches for them. There are so many people who feel that tug at their heart to help these children

Choices

I have been thinking a lot lately about getting into shape, eating healthy, exercising, etc. etc. etc. You get my drift. Every year about this time I think okay I am going to start now, so I can look great by summer. I will then start a program, lose a few lbs. and slowly (or sometimes not so slowly) go right back to those same unhealthy habits. I want this year to be different. I choose to be different. I want to do right by my body. My Mom had diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis and died from kidney failure. She didn't die young. She was 82, but her quality of life could have been so much better if she would have taken better care of herself. Maybe she did the best she could. I don't know. My sister died of lung cancer. She was 46 years old. She had met and married the man of her dreams just a few years before the diagnosis and only lived 3 weeks after receiving the news. It was horrible. I cannot describe the fear that ripped through my body after he
