Five minute lovely list

This week I've been:

~ Enjoying the fact that the everyday tools of my trade now include as much paper and handwritten ink as technology.

~ Loving my pretty new phone case - like carrying a little quilt of colour in my pocket!

~ Noticing just the slightest shift in daylight hours... not out of the long darkness by a good distance yet but moving in that direction. Oh, and the snow's gone. Thank goodness because, much as I love it to look at, it was causing havoc with getting around.

~ Thankful for the support of people who, with many a kind word and deed, have helped me deal with some of the less pleasant aspects of being self-employed and resident in a foreign country. 

~ Relishing the paint! The juicy acrylic colours, the feeling of it on my fingers and under a brush, and the sheer escape of losing myself in the process for a few hours... BLISS.
