Journal Happiness

What do we keep a journal for? 

For me it's always been about creating something that I knew didn't have to be a masterpiece;

or a place for a little masterpiece on a scrap of paper.

Or to see where your art journey was at the time--or just to have a little place to write

a thought. I have been looking through my journals and enjoying what I see

because if I didn't revisit then these pages would be gone from my

memory all together.

This is one of my favorite journals that has lots of yummy scraps and pockets filled with

stuff that I did even remember that I created. Yes, it's journal happiness for sure.

One of my favorite shows on TV right now is "So You Think You Can Dance." 

The dancers on this show are just so hard working, respectful and well mannered. 

This is one of my favorite dance routines. I have lots of favorites

but this one really moved me. If you  have even known someone who struggles

with addiction then you might agree that this dance is the perfect picture of it.

It's pretty intense and if you are not crazy about this style of contemporary

 dance then you might not like it at all.

 I think I like this dancer, Cole, because he is a martial arts expert and

 we spent most of my son's younger years in martial arts class. 

It is a wonderful discipline for young boys if they stick with it. 

That being said, here is my favorite dance with Cole and Lindsay.

Unfortunately Lindsay got voted off last time. :((
