I just got home from my second to last watercolor painting class feeling pretty happy. I'm happy to get my Monday nights back again, but the real reason that I'm happy is because I achieved my goal when I first signed up: To make new friends.
Mary, Yvonne, and Kathy. Three women who have the ability to light up the room when they smile, make a stranger feel welcome, and appreciate the simple things in life. Even though the conversations during class were a bit limited, I have no doubt in my mind that these are spectacular women that I hope I will spend time with in the near future- perhaps on other artistic adventures.
Even better, they all have Facebook accounts. Seriously, how can anyone dislike Facebook (except for its ability to suck you in when you first sign up)? Being able to reconnect with friends from grade school, keep in touch with friends who have moved away, and feel like a jump away from family, is priceless. Having just left my painting class 30 minutes ago, I've already found them and "friend-quested" them. I hope they'll have me.
Next on my "to do" list is either a sewing, quilting, or different art class. However, if anyone happens to have Rosetta Stone: Spanish just sitting at home collecting dust, I'll gladly take that off your hands for a bit and put relearning Spanish on the top of my list.
What is on your "to do" list?
Happy Monday!
