I love train rides. Right now I am barreling on the Southwest Chief to LA then down to San Diego. Visiting a long time friend to continue our 37 yr friend ship. Visited Georgia O’Keeffe’s mountains this afternoon in New Mexico. So inspiring!

My Burts Bees Mint and Eucalyptus soy wax candle! It smells amazing and makes me happy when I’m home working on my computer or in my studio. Also my Jack Richeson’s Best Dulce easel, I bought a second easel this year and I am so glad to now have one setup for large work and one setup for small work. My Masterson Sta-Wet palette keeps acrylic paints for weeks with the lid on and nearly days with the lid off, this is wonderful not having to set up a new palette of paint every day…These are a few of my favorite things!

What a great post. Some of my favorite things are ice skating on lakes, my ancestral holiday tradition of Swedish tea rings, and also those OOFOs! I love the OOFOs!

In reply to Colleen Brown.

I try to spend as much time as I can barefoot although at this time of year it is touch most days in Colorado.
Especially at a beach barefoot with saltwater is so beneficial.

I am happy for all my friends that helped me survive this year. I couldn’t have done it alone.

This year I’ve discovered “grounding” which literally is right in front of us. It’s about removing barriers in our daily lives and reconnecting with earth energy. Proponents say it can reduce inflammation in the body etc. I’m enjoying going barefoot in the yard more! There’s quite a bit of research out there. See http://downtoearthdocumentary.com/ or work by Dr. Stephen Sinatra, The Chopra Center. And it’s available to everyone for FREE! 🙂

painting
coffee
cinnamon rolls
naps with the beagles!

In reply to Summer.

Summer: That sounds like a “want” list. What do you already have that makes you happy? Maybe it’s the tools and supplies.
