They call it "Black Friday"

Today is the day after Thanksgiving if you are in the U.S.A and today marks the beginning of the shopping season for Christmas which is fast approaching. Where did all the time go? Don't ask me I'm still in denial that it is 2006, you blink your eyes and another year has passed. Well, back to Black Friday which is supposed to be the busiest shopping day of the year, right, with all those people getting up way to early to start their holiday shopping. While some stores opened at 5:00AM this morning I was still snug in my bed dreaming of the next art project. What will it be? I'm leaning towards a few more dolls. I have to admit I like making dolls, not any kind of doll but a doll that will speak to you, a woman with some history behind those wrinkled eyes, one that will share her story with you as you travel along life's path. Sometimes taking you in a completely different direction than what you had expected but that is the true nature of the artist being willing to go where your muse takes you. We can not chart our future for that would imply that we know all there is to know right now, but we as willing participants in this journey continue to learn new things which alters our future. Continue to learn, continue to grow, continue to work and when a new path is opened you will be ready for it. To my fellow adventurers enjoy the trip it is more important than the destination beyond the horizon.
