Addendum

I've got two additions to my New Year's guideline list, and they're actually ones I'm looking forward to.

Spend 10 minutes every day looking at something beautiful.
Spend 5 minutes every day making something beautiful.

The first one is easy. Seemingly. I have piles of books, magazines and a list a mile long of blogs that I want to dive into for a little inspiration. But do I ever do it? Rarely. Starting today though, I'm going to carve out just a little window of time every day to look at something purdy. To keep myself honest, I'll be sharing my finds here every now and then so you can look at something purdy too. Here's where I'm starting...

Because I love, love, love this work.

I think I like the birds best.

As for the second addition to the list - making something beautiful - I'm going to leave it open for interpretation. Maybe it means messing around with an Etch-A-Sketch for a few minutes. Creating an artfully arranged tableau on some unspecting horizontal surface. Or - let's be realistic - cleaning a toilet. Beauty is where you find it.
