Gratitude on the Eleventh day.

Today I am grateful that we chose to live by the beach. I think I am most grateful for my 12th floor balcony with water views on both sides. It is freeing to live up so high, see birds flying right by, watch the sun rise over the ocean and set over the intracoastal. The view is mostly sky up here, reflected by water. It is peaceful, and one of those things you might "dream" about if you saw a picture in a vacation magazine. I'm glad we chose to live here.

Sickness trumps Gratitude...

I've been so sick, I forgot to be grateful :(
But, I'm grateful that I have all my energy back today! Amidst extreme head congestion and fatigue from 4 days sick and still working, this evening I'm feeling pretty good. Here's a sneak peek at some digital things I've been working on. The photo is from Lisajen_Stock on Deviantart.com. They gracefully offer lots of photos in nice poses. I've colored and enhanced the photo, added elf ears and a pretty pink finch. Next I'll be giving her a gorgeous landscape. Then I'll take her into Artrage and create some digital painted magic.
