thursday
Up at 3:30. But I did go to bed around 7 so I got a good night's sleep.
I was going to sit down to paint, thinking I would do a self portrait with a mirror but after I removed the mirror from the middle of this wall (where the string hangs down) I was looking at the wall and all the things on it. These are all things that are either meaningful to me (belonged once to loved ones) or they were gifts from living people. Everything is so very dusty and I should do something about that. It's dusty, and a little crowded. Anyway, I thought I'd take pictures of this stuff in case I should be so inclined someday to clean this area up and redo it. Commemorate it.
I could take one of these things each day and write a whole little story about it - or at least a paragraph. Maybe I will. A writing project for the new year. That thing that looks like a dark book on the top shelf was something that Hazel made.
On the front it says Memory Book and that's a picture of Tenzing. Tenzing passed in 2012 so this was made sometime between 2007 and 2012, while we were living in mom's house and Hazel was just little. I think she must have used a school photo frame card to make it.
Inside it says: Ootapoo, Anycat, Milooe, Milooe. Everyone of these animals is gone now.
Another close up of the wall. Yeah, I think I will make this wall a writing project. Everything here is a memory of some kind and worth a moment to think about.
What a nice day so far. Writing and memories. It's only 5:30 and I still have a lot of time for painting, making oatmeal in the rice cooker, eating breakfast, and doing chores before I leave for Women's Group.
