Positive Forward Action!

[Whirlwind]

I am going to start running again!

Excellent, good for you. I started awhile ago, I figured it was generally safe from falling over unlike my bike riding endeavors, too, LOL. I love running now, very relaxing surprisingly.

I should get back to writing in my blog. I haven't been there for months. Writing use to be such an outlet for me. I stopped writing for such a long time. Then got back into it with my blog, then stopped. I'm trying to figure it all out.

I should also get back to my art and coloring. I set that aside awhile back(about the same time I stopped writing).

Reading about what you all are going to do is so exciting. I actually can feel it. Hope it dribbles down into me so that I get to doing something!

This is one of the best threads ever.

Looks like I killed the thread! Here's my positive forward action. I'm going to paint a portrait of my oldest daughter. She has a beauty that will be difficult to capture on the canvas. I hope to get started next week. Then, after that, I have another commissioned painting of a seascape.

Once an artist, always an artist, so they say. However, I had given up on my art. My camera does not take photos close enough to share my works of art, which I always used to do, so I lost interest. Also, my funds are very limited and besides that, my hands just won't do what they used to when I was younger.... excuses, excuses, excuses. I'm really not sure why I gave up all my arts, but I did.

So I will take up doing some sort of art(s) again, though I don't know what kind I shall do yet. I think first off I might try to find a camera that will take close-ups again. One that also will do long shots and so on. I do love photography. I'll let ya'all know as I go, but I am in on this, definitely!

Sculpting! stone and clay. But started last night by making fresh pasta. Rolling and kneading the dough was good for my nerve pain. Good dinner included. Yep. Will start with the clay and build up to the stone work. Thanks Laurie for the challenge. Art work was an in-between place.

I get to try archery for the first time next Saturday! It's something I've wanted to do for years, so I'm very, very excited!

I had a ride lined up to go to the store to buy a new camera, but neither of us felt well enough to go. Some day soon, I guess....

Currently I'm working on Adele's Skyfall with my vocal coach, and it's really fun to sing. I feel like I get to show my voice on the longer lasting tones, and I talked to my coach about considering to perform it on the school's concert this spring. It's actually a song I could do, most of the songs I've had with her I could not imagine performing because I just don't like them enough. If I were to perform it'd be (out of the songs I've worked on with her) Nightwish - Nemo, Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights or Skyfall. I chose not to link to Wuthering Heights because she sounds like a chihuahua :P The first and last are realistic, Wuthering Heights is really hard, but fun to sing. I'd have to work hard on that one to be able to do it live, but it wouldn't be impossible if I started practicing at home.

I've extended my vocal range a bit further down. Or, in other words, I've learned to control it on lower pitches. I just hit an F#3 :D That's not low at all, but I'm a soprano (or sopranino if you'd like to use that term). I'm also practicing my whistle voice, with it I can hit a B6. A couple times I've reached pitches in the 7th octave, but this is a rarity and I don't expect to be able to sing controlled that high.

I have not been able to get to the store to buy a new camera yet, and even if I did so, I don't have any really good software to rework my photos with. I dislike learning new software, it is so difficult for this old doggie to learn new tricks. However, I really miss sharing my photos and works of art with people. Just doing these without being able to share them is frustrating. So I will try to see what I can find in the way of a new camera. Please keep me in your prayers!

Got my wall & got my cans.

(I'm coming back with 'check' on the sprayer goals of recently.)

Archery was so much fun! I'm going to go to an archery store today to see how much it would cost to get a bow and arrows of my own, maybe even rent a bow & arrows for an hour of shooting today. :)
