In My Myst

I finally gave in and, YES, I'm addicted!  Thanks Heather! :)   I love the books. I just finished the first two and can't wait to read the others.

I wish I could understand why I find vampires so intriguing. People often talk about the romanticism of death but, from my own experience, there is nothing romantic about death. It has a sound, a smell and a visual that is anything but silken and beautiful. It is stomach-churning, painful and greedy. So, it can't be the idea of the walking dead. It must be tied to the extraordinary power and the ability to control another so effortlessly. The fascination could be the fluid motion and the graceful speech that always seems to accompany such characters or maybe it's the idea of being able to exist in so many different lifetimes.

I don't know the reason but I do know that, even as an adult, the stories still fascinate me and this one is certainly no exception.  So far, the first book is my favorite but I still have two to go.  I'm almost afraid to watch the movie because I don't want it to ruin what I've imagined Edward Cullen to be.

I wish I had the skill to produce such a great story.  It would be so much fun!

It is a day of glowing sunshine! You could not ask for better weather. I hopped up early and went to pick up a beautiful piece of artwork that now hangs in my foyer. It is a peaceful scene of delicate blossoms with an ethereal background that wraps you in dreams. Can you tell I'm happy??

I was on Facebook and found another joy for a creative day. Did you like to color as a kid? Take a look at this...

We don't have to stop just because we think we're too old.  This reminded me that my mother used to color some of the most beautiful pictures I'd ever seen.  I can't think of a better stress reliever!

Do something nice for yourself or for someone else and...

Have a great weekend!
