Tuesday tunes

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics –
All gone is here today
Finding room to breathe
Go on beyond your way
And see
And though the sounds of someday
May be home
And though the sounds of someday
May be home
Even the fires on the road
Trying to get away
And all the stars seem on a roll
Out of control today
Though the sounds of someday
May be home
And though the sounds of someday
May be home, yeah
Though the sounds of someday
May be home
Though the sounds of someday
May be home, ay
And though the sounds of someday
May be home, ooh

My 2 Cents –
This song talks of hope…in a world gone crazy it feels like we need hope…in abundance. Jensen has a gorgeous voice, and I need hope…so I went with it.

Tools, Skills, and other follys

Tools, something that are different depending upon the user. Each person may have different skills depending upon the tools that they have at hand.

For an example, I am capable of sewing by hand. I have been taught this skill in childhood. My mom, my grandmothers, my other female role models… They all sewed. In various levels of skill. My mom still makes the most beautiful quilts. However, though I have the ability to sew by hand… It is slow. I have arthritis in my hands. This makes it take longer. I am not as neat as I am with a machine.

This is something that was brought up lately. Someone told me that my digital art has improved. I am sure that it has… After all I have better tools. I have a decent laptop. I have good art programs (Gimp & Krita are my two current favorites). I even have a good mousepad that I recieved for Christmas. (An elephant with headphones on. It is an ergonomic one that helps with my arthritis).

If someone is struggling with their art, or their writing, or any part of their life and you want to assist… Ask them what tool they are missing. Sometimes it is something small such as someone to bounce ideas off of.
