The Dawn of Realization

Don't you just love it when scattered thoughts all come together and suddenly make perfect sense?

That's exactly what happened to me when I noticed the early morning sun "pouring" its beautiful light into my teacup!

 

I have spent the last month watching Brooke and Noah ready their classrooms in anticipation of another school year.  For over 38 years, I prepared my own classrooms and loved every minute of it.  Maybe that is why I felt the need to join Program 60 at OSU and create a fall schedule.

But then...I started thinking about my "classrooms" of today...my studios!

 

I have TONS of wonderful projects to work on...

 

 

The only classroom I really want to be in is this one...and I have lots of preparing to do!

 

I think it was definitely meant to be I was bumped from my classes...

Those two full days away from home would seriously have cut into my painting time!

 

After looking through my textbooks, I did return them to the OSU bookstore yesterday.

I found my own Children's Literature book and a Cultural Anthropology book of sorts much more interesting than the EXPENSIVE textbooks assigned to my classes.

 

And speaking of Children's Literature, I think I need to go through ALL the children's books I do have and catalog them.

This is just one of the MANY bookshelves in our home.

 

 

And as for that rughooking class I was going to take...I discovered my allergy to wool is still a problem...and then there are my own unfinished hooking projects I am doing with blended yarns.

I discovered I don't want to be tied down to a scheduled time to hook.

 

I think I may have been trying to recreate past experiences, when in reality, the present is where my heart and soul are most happy...

But I am glad I got a pair of saddle shoes out of the adventure.

 

As I watched the sunrise on this peaceful morning, I felt my own sense of purpose and joy return.

What I was looking for always right here...on our blessed farm.

 

~Life is good~
