New Beginnings, Renewed Goals

January 1st, 2012 · 4 Comments

Jan 01 2012 bird

One of my many goals for the new year, drawing or painting or doing some type of art every day is at the top of my list. This is a sketch from this evening of a small iron bird that I found in Fredericksburg this weekend.  No. 2 pencil on white paper.

The second item on my goal list is to ask “will this matter in an hour… or next week?”, before I react to something in a negative way. There is so much to learn in life, and to instill as part of our character. I want to learn to value what is truly important and to be grateful. Period.
