Just as many of you are feeling, the temps around here have turned decidedly toward Autumn!
Nothing earth shattering - just a traffic jam caused by flooding and mudslides on major highways around here - the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee - that caused me to be late for a meeting a work. But it does remind me that there is little in life that I can truly "control".
Pretty self-explanatory.
We watched documentary films regarding the heroes of 9/11. Seeing those images again - planes, fireballs, buildings collapsing in a cloud of grey smoke - gave me the same sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that it did ten years ago. I actually didn't create this page until two days later. When I was still feeling the energy drain from having watched the news coverage. And it isn't that I don't want to be "informed" but all media coverage has a negative effect on me physically, so I just stay away from it as a general rule!
In this case, I just allowed myself to go with the listlessness and lack of drive to do anything productive or creative. I did what I HAD to do - laundry and grocery shopping - and left the rest for Monday.
Well, that catches you up with my LSNED pages up to a week ago. The rest are done up to date, but waiting to be photographed. Life has been crazy busy around here. I have a lot to catch you up on, but seemingly very little time in which to do it. But I'll be back later!

ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous lessons Cheri. Every time I look at your art I am left in awe by its beauty.
ReplyDeleteCheri, I found myself nodding in agreement to each of these pages - such good notes on each one. Yours is a truly beautiful take on the project.
ReplyDeleteCheri, your pages are really beautiful - to look at and the lessons learnt!
ReplyDeleteGreat lessons,Cheri...I rarely watch the news these days....all of it seems so depressing...ours last night was particularly sad.
ReplyDeleteI love the butterfly on every page.
Such lovely pages Cheri and also congrats on keeping up (well I have managed 2 pages so far). Totally agree with you about news coverage.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I sit in front of the news saying "why am I watching this?"
ReplyDeleteI haven't been completely keeping up I'll admit it, but this morning I hope to get stuck in with a few more tags after I've finished a very enjoyable hour of blog reading
Great additions to the project. I especially like the last page! I hope to find some time to get my next few pages done today.
ReplyDeletegorgeous pages Cheri!! Love the first one with the dragonfly :)
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid i am not managing to keep up with this at all. I have made notes of what I am learning, but i just cannot make any pages right now.
Absolutely stunning! I'm so inspired (and behind) on my LSNED project. :)
