Wednesday = Randoms <3

Randoms on a day with a full schedule and not much time. Ignore trying to make the photos make sense. I am in a hurry and just putting up what I think works to go with randoms. If you don’t get it, scroll on friend. 

Here we go:

Random #1

That being said. The bit about my photos. I had a comment once that my photo didn’t make sense. Art is art and how I see something either speaks to you or it doesn’t. If I have to explain it, it’s not art. 

But the one comment has stuck with me for years and years and clouds up my thinking sometimes when I am doing a post. I find myself trying to mentally defend a photo that I have added to a post just in case I get questioned. 

It is a reminder to me that we give far too much attention to random comments by others that need to be balanced with the majority of our work and not the places we fell short or disappointed someone. 

Try to stay with the big picture of life as you live in the small picture of the daily <3

Random #2

Of all the mess that is American politics, I will be forever grateful to George Bush and all the clever content creators who have come up with memes from his facials at the inauguration. 

God bless you George and company. 

I laugh every time and laughter is good medicine. 

Random #3

I finished the puzzle! Yes!! The Elf puzzle was completed last night. 

Throughout the working of it I muttered numerous times that there must be a lot of pieces missing. 

Turns out there was only one. 

After I snapped the above photo, I dismantled it and put it in the box. I took a sharpie and wrote, “One piece missing” on the cover. I went back to move the footstool back to its rightful place and guess what caught my eye…yep…the missing piece just under the edge of couch. I had looked for it earlier, but the light must have been just right (or wrong) and I missed it. 

It has been returned to the box. I lined through the first message and notified the next puzzler that all the pieces are in the box. 

God speed. 

Random #4

Teaching English has reacquainted me with so many concepts I had forgotten or misuse daily. 

Don’t get me started on the verb tenses of Lie/Lay…it is a nightmare. 

We talk a lot about protagonist and antagonist in our writing. 

As a refresher, the protagonist is the main character and the antagonist is the one who creates the conflict or challenge to the protagonist. 

It occurred to me this morning that, while we are the protagonist of our own story; we are without exception, the antagonist in every other story. Ouch. 

Random #5

Emmett needs a box that fits his head for a project. 

I was trying on boxes last night after the puzzle triumph. 

Russ’s reaction was priceless and I had the best laugh I have had in ages. 

Enjoy today <3
