Forward.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've written; it's not like me! I like to try and stay on top of my blog; I like expressing my thoughts and feelings, and telling you fine people about my life! Lately, though, I've been neglecting it. I feel like I'm happier with life lately, and so I've thought less about writing in my blog and expressing my woes. Why am I happier? I'm not sure. But I can feel something working in me. I've yet to determine what it is, but I find myself caring less about what others think, and laughing more often! I like this very much. I'm keeping myself more busy, and doing things that I love again. Last week I finally got off of my butt and started painting again! It was an amazing feeling, and I forgot how good it felt and how much I missed it. Art is such a release for me, and I definitely need to get back into it (although I've been saying that for months). I miss being in art school, when that was my life, and it was something that I was always doing. I miss having that space to go into, to withdraw from the world for awhile, plug in some music, and work for hours. 

I think, though, what's working in me is my dreams; what I want out of life. I keep blogging about this, but it's because it is something that is on my mind a lot lately, and I can't ignore it. What do I want to do with my life, who do I want in it, and how do I want to spend my time? These are some of the questions that I'm toying with lately. Maybe they'll never fully be answered, I dunno. But it is good to have some dreams, to be working towards something. 

Something totally out of the blue, Nicole and I have decided to start a collection; of cat figurines! Pictures will come soon. But last night we were at Goodwill, and there are so many cat figurines out there, big and small, ugly and hilarious. We thought it would be quite funny to start up a collection and fill our place with these creatures. We bought 4, and they are beautifully perched in our house. So if any of you are ever out and see one, think of us! This is going to be a fun project (and totally ridiculous).
