Processing Before the Canvas

Mt Abe from Addison Vermont

At it again, I’m back to the easel soon with a changed attitude. A few weeks ago I had a cataract removal procedure done on one eye. Light changes, becomes brighter when cataracts are removed. Think filter gone.

No kidding, I grab my underwear out of the drawer, and thought they must have been mingled with something left in the washer (shared laundry room). I look, no, they are really mine. What a nice color.

What about my artwork? How will mixing colors work? 

I don’t know if my paintings will change beyond seeing clearer colors. 

At the Dead Creek visitor center lane, there is an area where you can see the mountains clear of trees in the foreground. I drove too far into those trees for the view I wanted. I have other pictures with the mountain view. The road image, I think it is meant to be a painting.

It’s About Attitude

Do you ever get tired of not feeling well, not free of aches and pains? m

Once, many years ago I had to take a strong pill that I usually always refuse or insist taking no more than 2-3 days. I’m not big on pills, never have been. For the day I took that medication, I was shocked that all my usual aches and pains were gone.

It was that one time I had the opportunity to feel the contrast between my daily 24/7 life versus feeling good. Like tinnitus since early childhood, I became used to aching because it is part of me. 

Humans are fascinating creatures in how we adapt to all sorts of things in life. 

In answer to the question, yes, I do get tired of not feeling well. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t do things well. Life is a lot about attitude.

Signed into my gmail account

Upper right dots open and select YouTube not only tells me I’m not signed in, the page is full of porn. 

There is one video of young girls cheerleading in a very inappropriate pose. I found no report button

Instead, you are given a Feedback page to submit. 

It is disgusting.

Thoughts About Holiday Decorations

 An idea drifted by this afternoon about how to make the holidays feel cheery-ish instead of sad. 

Decorations.

A themed holiday may be a distraction that creates a sense of control. The project can get one out and about purposely searching for things. Surrounded by one’s accomplishments can be uplifting.  

What if you aren’t into decorating because it reminds you of happier times? Themed holiday decor can replace old reminders with the new one of you making the effort to feeling good. 

First, decide on a style, traditional, one color, plaid, rustic, shiny, nature, steampunk, old West, modern, beaded fruit, candy canes, Santas, musical and so on. 

Second, set a budget and source materials

Lastly, have fun decorating!
