everything gone white and everything's grey

I have a hard time busting out of my little black & white box.

I gravitate towards those "colors."

I don't think I'm all that definitively black & white,

I like to think I'm more shades of grey, 

even colorful sometimes, 

but then again...

: .P

"Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible.  Instead... only try to realize the truth."

"What truth?" 

"There is no spoon."

"There is no spoon?"

"Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself."

I worked on that upcycled piece this weekend.

it took two entire days to roll those newspaper rosettes 

and glue them down.

The canvass is 8"X8"

"From far away, its just a big ole mess!"
Nothing to recommend it, really.

I think the close-up is quite cool!!!

I'm thinking it would look neat if I splashed some watercolors on it???!!!
There's already some color from the newspaper...

I also wanted to do some art journal pages,

I really like this artist's grungy, artsy work...

but I am not so relaxed.

I need things to coordinate and be organized, 

no matter how hard I try to do "messy."
AND whoa! its black & white!
SURPRISE!!!

Here's what came out. 

I wanted to use these Social Distortion lyrics

(Ball & Chain)

for awhile now...

I sent this over to Pens for her Songs In My Heart blog : .)

It was a bit inspired by the rut I've been in, 

and thinking I was going to have to quit running.

I think I mentioned I got hooked up with a trainer???

(Or shall I call him the "body whisperer"...Yes, he is THAT good!)

Already, amazing things are happening.

I was almost crying during today's session.

These workouts have been so much harder than training for

 and running a marathon, believe it or not!

But its been so goooooood.

To feel like 

I'm moving forward, doing something

instead of stagnating.

Yes!

Short week!  It'll be Wednesday tomorrow already! 

hup, hup, hup!!!
