a spot of sunshine.

today is a rather dreary day, as are many days in the pacific northwest this time of year.

i got up.
ate some breakfast.
burned some discs to mail to clients.
thought, a lot.
talked with my sister as she drove to the hospital.
worked on my list of "to-do"'s.
figured out a grocery list.

all the while, my heart was rather heavy for old friends i know who are going through an unimaginably hard time.
i think it's just one of those days. which is ok.
but instead of posting just anything, why don't i post a bit of beauty?
that's one of things i love most about the arts.
there can be sadness, tragedy, darkness, tears- and still- beauty is there. and hope is waiting, just around the corner. as is springtime when you're smack dab in the middle of january.

(enjoy these photos taken while on our honeymoon in jamaica this fall. jamaica = stunning, not to mention quite cheery.)
