Today I am happy about the progress our artists are making through C.cada. One of our artists created the mural you see below out of chalkboard paint for our church’s coffee shop. We heard today that a project we are working on with a local hospital is once again a go (we thought sure it had stalled out) …AND… I finished my painting for next week’s art show! Now to frame it!

Well I am a day behind because I “wasted” yesterday on what was my first real sabbath in about seven weeks. I am really really really happy I did!
Today I am happy that yesterday I napped in my back yard!
