Last day as a 28 year old.

It isn't only because so many people have told me that 29 was a huge year for them, an age when change was rampant and clarity common, but I have a feeling that it is going to be an amazing one for me. Already, in the past week, I feel like everything makes sense in life, that taking this unemployed time has brought me more gifts then originally imagined.

These are some of my hopes for my 29th year of life:

-To remain open-minded and positive with people, situations, and choices
-To continue to see my art as intensely important to the person that I am
-To give
-To be gentle with myself when I get frustrated, confused or scared
-To immerse myself in study that brings meaning, education and purpose
-To travel, this country and others
-To see my family and friends more regularly

I am sure there are many more small hopes but these are the larger ones that stand out in my mind. I also hope to be a more regular and consistent blogger, getting over the laborious task of photographing my paintings so that they look good on the computer.
