Ive been feeling a little blue the last few days. i dont know if its the sudden change in weather or if its just life. I have a few small challenges in my life right now but for some reason i seem to make them big. or are they big and im trying to make them less big. either way they really a have me in a funk. I look at my life and think i have such a beautiful blessed life. I have a husband who loves me unconditionally and would do anything for me, i have a  beautiful house and garden, im healthy, have great friends. what could be wrong. why am i so blue. why dont i know how to be truly happy and free and open to all the possibilities in the world. instead i try to control everything and when i cant i get frustrated. How does one learn to let go. let the little things go, just be, just be in the moment ,smell, see, hear, take it all in. at what point in my great life did i get to be so closed off and hard, or have i alway been this way and some days it just seeps out to the front office, I know everyone deals with life on a day to day basis and my problems are so irrelevant compared to so many others in my life and in the world. how does one just see things and relish in the sheer fact of it beauty? How do i just Be?

Alice Alice I ♥ Alice!

So sorry for the lengthy delay in my postings. Life gets so busy here in the NW when the sun decides to show its self that i have no time to sit in front of my computer. Ahh but now i must report  on something i am truly so so excited about. Ever since i was a little girl and i saw Alice and Wounderland for the first time i have been fascinated and obssesed with the books i think i have 50 different copies.  I love how the imagination can take you to so many different places. I think that movie had such a affect on me that to this day i will animate people i see in my mind wether its on the bus, walking down the street, passing by in my car and catch a glimpse of them. my mind is always animating things, i also see hearts and faces where ever i go but thats for another posting. As soon as i saw that Tim Burton is doing an Alice and Wonderland movie i cant stop thinking about it i cant stop looking for images of it. It is going to be so beautiful, slightly animated, high fashion, amazing sets all in Tim Burton grand style. Johnny Depp is the mad hatter of course who else would it be. Helen Bonham Carter is the queen and the list goes on of stars. So much to look at. If you have never seen the 1st Disney version of Alice you aught to, its so fun and colorful also if you want a great read try out Threw the looking glass also by Lewis Carroll. I cant tell you how excited i am for this movie to come out i only wish i didn't have to wait until March of 2011 to see it. Maybe by then ill have my Alice costume done.
