Wow! The first day off that I actually did get things done that I needed to and not sat on my ass or visited with people. Such a sense of accomplishment results on days like this.

Last night, I was sitting at my favourite restaurant, after my meal and was putting lip balm on because of the latest inclement weather, and some stranger opened the door and, with a rather large voice said "There is no need to apply lipstick when one is already beautiful" My first reaction was to think "Are you insane" but I opted for the more polite "thank you". He had begun to walk away when he returned adding something like there is no need to thank me for the truth. Then he left. Weird, yet kind of sweet.

And, no, I didn't chase him down. I was still a little shocked about the outburst.

Today, I really wish that I had some sort of inspirational thoughts to share with you all. Alas, I have none however, I still cannot help feeling inspired by the potter that I will be taking classes with next week. What I'd love to do is get some courage and embark on a creative, artistic occupation without having to worry about where my next meal is coming from. The market is so fickle yet to express that energy that creative people have is freeing. I know because I have experienced it.

So, I'm going to turn to my muse - which I have determined is nature - and see what I can come up with.

Anyone care to join me?
