I had some high hopes for yesterday. And as life often does, it threw some brushback pitches instead. But with that came clarity in a few areas of my life. It was a day that changed me.

So onto a Friday, I’ll start hopeful again but with a new perspective.

A bit of stretching and exercise to start with. So I’m mixing that in as I write this post. Our granddaughter is here and she is in good spirits.

As I look over at one of my many worktables, there is an old rose sitting on my drawing pad. Should I get that out or continue my photo editing of the last car shoot? The editing wins.

But I will draw this weekend. I have some energy that I think I can channel into a piece or two with a couple of ideas that just sprang to life.

Random Thoughts of the Day

• I find it interesting how oblivious people are in situations.
• Simplifying my day today.
• The more I listen to what people are saying the more I worry for all of us.
• I love having a car cover. I hate having to put it on because that means I can’t use my favorite toy.
• Finding outlets for negative energy is important in maintaining balance.
