Comments on: Grateful http://blog.lisacall.com/2007/07/grateful.html Images and writing about my abstract contemporary textile art by Lisa Call.

I kept one for quite a while, and maybe its time again for one. An alternative I've been doing lately is to share 5 images from the day with friends, family, my partner, whoever I am sharing the evening with. Taking turns sharing mental snapshots makes me more aware of the daily moments of grace, beauty, interest and power. Thanks Lisa for the reminder about the gratitude list.

Your success over the weekend is motivating me to spend some serious hours in the studio this weekend. I want to explore some new ideas. One of my great downfalls when I have time...is the internet...and blog world, like Tally said...I get so lost I get nothing done...so I've learned to just not turn it on. Funny what you were saying about gratitude, I was just sharing that idea with my cousin last night...reminding her how much she has to be grateful for and to make sure she practices gratitude.

It's my first day of vacation, I'm very exhausted, I want to get accomplished manymany have-to-dos and want-to-dos. Now I've got lost not for the first time in all those beautiful blogs with the result of getting more and more ideas into my head. So many ideas that I won't do anything, because it's too much. Yes, now I will do some blogging myself and than shut down my notebook. But for sure I will visit your blog very soon. Take care :-Tally-: t.tally.blogspot.com Hi Lisa,

I have kept this ritual up for the past four years and believe it has made me a happier person. On really bad days I can still find three things even if one of them is "just breathing" Writing down three things to be grateful for on a daily basis is one of the best things I have ever done.

Thanks for sharing it. And I am green with envy that you spent that much time in the studio AND had a homemade peach cobbler. That's heaven! Love this painting also. Thanks for sharing it.

You are amazing! And a great model - of focus and concentration. I like this painting a whole lot - I will have to go look at Jessica's other work. You know I get torn with decisions too. Great image of what it feels like. Good reminder of focusing on the positive - and having patience with ourselves - and forgive (and embrace) ourselves for being human. ~ Diane Clancy www.dianeclancy.com/blog Lisa, I am so glad you finished your goals for the July 4 weekend.

I love Jessica's work and have had my finger on the buy button several times - I keep telling myself, when I make X amount of dollars, I'll buy this or this. But, we should probably do these things when the mood strikes. Sometimes I self censor too much. I’m glad to hear that you’re working stuff out.
