Walking

I have been walking the past two nights. Andy and I are checking out homes around town that we see for sale in the local paper. It really is a great way to look at them. You can get a better feel for the area if you approach it on foot. I am also feeling more well. I have a little more energy in my day. This is not new information to me but I seem to always slip off the walking path and just stop. I feel too tired, it’s too cold, I’m too busy are some of the excuses I use. I resist the urge to make any grand promises about never doing this again. I hope I continue to be this kind to myself.
Autumn is the best time to walk though. I love the leaves. The crunchy deep ones as well as the drifting ones that fall like confetti yet more elegantly and gently. I love the days that are sunny and clear yet have a coolness that allows you do do plenty. It is a great time of the year.

I haven’t been writing many posts lately. Not entirely sure why, but mostly haven’t had much to say. I feel contented right now and that is enough for me.

Webquest Progressing well…

Today I went into school, yes, on a public holiday and completed the webquest. I feel  happy about that. It is ready for the students to begin tomorrow. There are still a couple of finishing touches we need to make but I am rapt. I really wanted to do that webquest, but I just didn’t really want to do it in my own time.

The thing is with most of these projects, the only time there is to do them is your own time, so I had to just make the sacrifice. It wasn’t so bad and I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment now. I am glad I agreed to do it. I am also pleased I finished the tiling. Perhaps in some way it helped me to finish the webquest. The completion energy rose from finishing things I wanted to do or some such thing.maybe…

Triumph!

I have actually finished my mosaic. Well I am not really finished, I still have to put the grout in, but I feel finished because I have broken up and stuck down all those tiles!
I should have been working on my web quest all weekend and as my rebellious nature often does, I got involved in finishing my mosaic. I feel naughty that I didn’t do my work and will be up until goodness knows when tonight making amends for that but it doesn’t stop me celebrating the fact that I have completed this and I am really very happy with it.
I love the way it looks and I love that I have managed to see the project through. I ‘failed’ art at school and have never been very crafty but I think I am not as bad as I thought at being creative. I love the things I have made in the past few years and it inspires me to want to do more. That is good.
