12 NovArt – City Lights Umbrella Girl
Even though I live in a rainy place, I never use an umbrella. I usually find it to be more of a pain than a help. But, there’s something I love about the umbrella girl paintings.
This one was a test painting for a date and paint party I donated to the Boys & Girls Club auction.
02 SepLearning
My year of happiness officially started yesterday but I’ll have to come clean and admit I haven’t really done much of anything. It always surprises me how fast time goes. Here, I had 2 weeks to put this together and couldn’t do it. Oops.
I chose “learn” for my happiness focus in September. I’d like to learn Spanish and learn how to live debt free by completing Financial Peace University.
Tuesday will be the day! I WILL start.

28 AugYou do you
Someone said this to me the other day. I took it as a slam, but then I was all “thanks! I will.” At that point, it was a high compliment.
I didn’t get very far today on the happiness project plan, but that’s okay. One of my for sure action items is to give myself grace and not let something like that bring me down. I’ve got plenty of time!
I did brainstorm a few areas to tackle: 1) Home 2) Finance 3) Health and 4) Marriage. I’ve also started work on my “12 commandments”
- Be grateful
- Practice self discipline
- Always be learning
- Listen harder
- Do it now
- Spark creativity
…
It’s a start anyway.
I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.
