Today is the day to count blessings!
One blessing: I'm learning and understanding 3D art better. I'm even enjoying quite a bit of it! For me, it's easier because I can create and build things. It's much easier than drawing and painting for me. Though, with practice, I could be better at those I'm sure. With projects, sometimes the hardest part is thinking of the idea of what to do...then, the next hardest part is executing those really cool ideas as you see them in your head! So wish I had a team of engineers who lived with me. I could come up with the ideas, and they could put it together! My first project I made a kite mobile with some really cool new paper discoveries I made. Next time, I will have to weld it so the armature stays better. The colors were cool!
The second one, we had to use everyday materials and give it a new function. I took coffee bags and sewed them together and added some really interesting coffee stamps to make an umbrella. The stand is made from coffee beans in a repetitive pattern. I made it moveable; AND, I added some coffee smell to complete the experience. It was fun!
Boot camp didn't kill me! As a matter of fact, it got me to realizing some important things, like how easy it is to say I'm too busy. It still takes a chunk of time, but it's worth it. Half the battle is getting there. I LOVE being at the gym once I'm there. And though I really enjoyed my special boot camp workouts, they were a little too hard on my body for my age...I have heel spurs and joint problems...and concrete (running and sprints) doesn't work well with it. But honestly, I learned some pretty cool and fun exercises that I can do at home! Results: I am able to do over 50 pushups in 2 minutes - vs - 17. And yes, they are regular military kind of push ups! YEAH! I have better breath recovery. I can jumprope faster...so all is well.
I hope that all of your lives are blessed and happy. I shall give that prayer to the universe everyday because I know you deserve it.
