I'm making things again

best thing that could've happened was my tv went out...

i was going to resign myself to another mindless night in front of the boob tube.

but it's defective. and i gave up trying to fix it.

instead, i got out my supplies, turned up the music, poured myself a glass of wine, and got to work.

i used my hands.

tearing paper,

creating rough edges.

creating something with my own two hands.

creating many things with just two hands.

glue on my fingers and a smile on my face i looked at the mess i've made...

the work was complete and i was completely elated.

then i pulled out my camera...

i just got to do two of my favorite things all because my tv went out.

and i enjoyed every minute of it.

i think i'll cancel my cable and maybe even my cell phone.

how much i could accomplish if all i was left to was my own devices!
