100301 A new idea, a gym bag and being thankful

I love that way Elizabeth Perry describes each day with a small sketch of one object with lots of beautiful white space... And I have been thinking about the “sketch a day to describe something in the day” idea for a few weeks. So I have decided to give it a go... Now I am not going to achieve her beautiful white space as I love words too much and I use up my sketchbooks too quickly anyway but I do expect some days to have a lot less text than today.... But sometimes there is a lovely relationship between trivial events in my life and these are the things that I just love re-reading in years to come.

BTW - yes, this is another red accessory in my life - one that I have had for years - maybe it was the start of the collection.

BTW2 - It is my summer gym bag because it is so wee - you can see that I can't even fit my mount franklin bottle in properly!

Instead of recording all my daily bible verses on the one spread for a week (which I normally don’t post), I will now have them more spread out through the week scattered with the rest of my life – which is how I want to live my life – with precious words in my head! Now Psalm 66 doesn’t really have anything to do with a gym bag BUT it is an answer to prayer that today for the first time in weeks I did not have a headache on a Monday and was therefore about to make it to the gym. I am also remembering an amazing trip to Spain I was privileged to have had with my brother in 2003. But of course these are just little things....the text is about far deeper issues.
