lists

I am always making lists.
Things I am thankful for, 
things to do,
things to draw, 
garden plans,
every Christmas gift I have ever gotten,
what I ate,
where I would like to go, 
things to  look up,
things to make,
things to make lists of....

I have been doing this forever.
My daughter tells me obsessive list making is a sign of ADHD.
Probably.
 Especially if you rewrite the same list over and over.
I do
I am not making light of anyone with ADHD. And I have never been diagnosed, but living with autism I can now see traits from Autism, Aspergers, PPD-NOS, ADD, OCD, ETC. in myself and almost everyone around me. I guess what makes the difference is how many of these traits we each have. and how well we can function with these traits.
I think I have just enough ... not too many, not too few.
I mean, aren't you a fan of the quirky personality?

So anyway, I have been lately posting more than just art, i am enjoying thinking of posts to do taht aren't just paintings but whatever i am thinking about...
 Posts in a series...
posts just about color....
adventures with autism....
a glimpse in my sketchbook....
sacred circle mandala photos,
and lists....

so here's my first list...
a photographed list,
or rather a list in pictures,
nothing too quirky to start with.
5 things I am thankful for lately
(apart from my family of course)

1. a gift...




2. looking up...




3. working on my future book.....



4. Muffins with honey....
