4 x 4 in.

Today was a great day! It just was. I’m still coughing and everything is changing but the excitement for what’s coming next is spilling over. And I can’t help but feel that my spirit is back in full swing. Sometimes it leaves when I’m feeling afraid and fighting a cold, but it never goes away for long and when it returns, it feels especially good to have "myself" back.

In honor of all the changes that have been happening here, this is today’s painting. As it turns out, "Open" is this week’s topic for Illustration Friday, and I thought that it also happens to be the perfect sentiment for how I’m feeling right this very moment.

I’ll be back tomorrow with the good news I promised on Monday. I’m letting things settle back into place a bit, and regaining some much needed perspective as I head out on this new adventure.
