Gratitude

I am grateful for the ordinary. What I love about blogs is the way people let you look into their ordinary lives, which allows me to see my life with new eyes. Bloggers seem to be people who love life, and want to give and get inspiration to live a richer life. These are photos from my ordinary life. A life I feel so grateful to be living. Full of simple things like people I love, nature, food, art, moonlight, books....and I could go on and on. My biggest goal in life is to savor and cherish what is all around me every day.

Artists to Know

These are artists I've become familiar with through Flickr. They are: Olivia Jeffries, here (top left), Paola Gaviria Silguero here  (top right and bottom left) and Akinao Saito here (bottom right). What I am attracted to in each one is the abandoned way they draw. It seems that they are only listening to something they hear, not a trend or a style that comes from without.
