Every Day is a Good Day

It seems Ive had a real sea-change. Last week I suddenly realised that whenever anyone said what a bad day it was (usually because it was raining) I automatically, without thinking, replied that it was actually a good day because every day is a good day............. and what is more I really meant it. Since then I am feeling so light............inside...........in my head and I am, for the first time in how many years, actually looking forward to Christmas! I cant explain properly how I feel, but I just want it to stay that way. I think it may have something to do with my encounter with that person I told you about last time........how I broke the ice by talking and how I suddenly realised that this person was not as mature as she liked to believe. Its like the last remnant of a hurt had healed. I truly saw her for what she is and at the same time realised I was so much better. Plus, the funding cuts..............everyone thinks its bad, but Im thinking that , for me anyway, it has helped me to focus. If there are no funded school placements for artists then its one less wall to knock my head against, and other things, self initiated things, are slowly coming in and it feels right. Im even o.k. driving the taxi ! God, I must be cured ! lol. Im doing the Long BIG DRAW in Hinckley Market again this coming Saturday, diferent format to last year (the Little BIG DRAW) and a DMU third year student found my website and wanted to volunteer to work with me. I have given her details but await confirmation. Last year I was able to employ Melissa Theobold but this year the funding, as we just spoke about, has been slashed. Im working for less and there is no cash for an assistant, but its o.k. Im also running the same thing on the 23rd October, 12 til 4 p.m., at the KLA studios, in Leicester, with Elaine and any other of the groups members who want to turn up. Plus, and this is the really good thing, a self intitiated project for next year has just about been given the green light and i dont envisage any more hurdles to jump. Its a one day event and if you want to know a little more , maybe get in early, then please go to a website I have set up just for this project.............. www.acp-arts.webeden.co.uk ............. O.K. I have more to talk about, but not right now. Now I need to sleep, so I will say buenos noches and ask you to remember that your thoughts create your future, so love all and hurt none.
