There is supposed to be a bizzard here early this morning yet not a flake has fallen. It's a reminder that things in life can not always be predicted.

I was reading along and thinking, "great I'm doing these", but then I read several new ideas that are just so wonderfully simple, yet new. Thanks for the inspiring post!

How to Act like an Artist, left me breathless. Funnily enough, Wednesday, I did something different. I decided to go to Southpark Centre Woodstock's 50 plus Recreation & Community Centre. Was I in for a surprise, so much going on, no one need ever be bored. I started in the Knitting room, I have an urge to get back to making sweaters. When I started hooking after my 30 odd years of being away, I kept several boxes of knitting yarn just in case!!!!! . It was a joy to watch the ladies at their various knitting projects, happy to welcome me aboard. Guess what, the lady sitting next to me was from Nova Scotia, still has a family home there at Port Saxon in Shelurne County, where she spends her summers . She was most interested to hear about your studio in Amherst, gave me her address to visit when I am in Nova Scotia. Next it was in to the painting class, after watching the ladies using oils or water colours I thought,what a good idea to join a beginners class, using crayons or chalk. How helpful this would be when designing a rug. Last but not least I popped in to the Stability Class,spent a few moments trying what for me was a new way of exercising. I have decided to join the centre. I came away with a wonderful feeling, a big change is about to happen in my life...As if that wasn't enough, today I changed my hair colour from quite Blonde to more my natural colour Ash Blonde, with a few other high lights thrown in.You certainly gave us lots of ideas for change, to make the best of everyday that comes along.Thanks a lot Deanne.
