Art Journal: It's All Good

Tonight is nothing but...

I am thoroughly enjoying a new e-zine I picked up last week from one of my favorite ning networks run by Leslie Herger at Comfortable Shoes Studio, and finding so many new blogs to enjoy! Get your copy for only $5 smackaroos here.

 Just really looking into Moonlight Chronicles and planning on sending out a check tomorrow for a few of his past issues-if it's as good as I think it is, this stuff is going to be one of those life changing reads I bet. Basic plotline is that the guy gave up worldly goods for the most part and has been living for 20 years as The Hobo Artist. I'll try to pull myself away from all this new, ultra cool artsy stuff long enough to come back and talk about it here soon :)

Looking forward to Wishcasting Wednesday tomorrow and a trip to the neurologist on Thursday. Hubba Bubba (I'm going to have to start calling him something and go back and filter previous posts, just so I can be sensitive of the husband's feelings about blogs) has been worried about me and my symptoms-not too bad overall, but could be better-plus his mom had some health stuff come up recently that just throws us on our emotional butts all over again. Maybe I can ask the neurologist about giving me some copies of my MRI scans to look at for fun, I really do like the big MRI films. I think there is something comforting about them in a very weird an unexplainable way. I suppose if I can see my brain, then I feel like I can have a better mental handle on having a disease like MS that is so transitory in nature.

I'm heading to bed and going to try and figure out how to get up early enough to work out in the morning-this is my mission damnit! I know, I know, I watched this quick talk on TED about psychological studies that show that we receive positive reinforcement by saying something we are "going" to do and getting feedback from other; enough to fulfill our brains desire for positive stimulus, thus making us less likely to HAVE to fulfill the actual goal. My goodness I'm rambling tonight, but really, it was an interesting little talk.

I'm thrilled to say I received my swap partner for Kira's penpal swap, and going to sincerely do my best not to procrastinate on this, I do think my swap partner deserves better than me scrambling madly to get my thoughts together. Speaking of procrastinating, I've been awful about doing the reading for my history of the Middle East class, I am so undisciplined these days. In fact, I think that is the theme of my life right now-undisciplined.

*Sigh* I'm working on it.
