Hello, Kitten & Dawgs, how was your weekend? Mine was busy. I spent the day with DH in the mountains on Friday because that was his off day and Saturday we were super busy with yardwork. We had to mow the lawn which was a long overdue job, change the oil in the car (yes, we do this ourselves), and cut our hair (again, yes we do that ourselves thanks to the nifty hair cutting Flowbee system). I was totally exhausted by bedtime, so yesterday all I wanted to do was relax but we had to go to the store and while we were out, we checked two homes on the market. We didn’t get back until late, too. I’m bushed and there’s so much yet to do before DH’s surgery on Thursday, plus I need catch up with everyone who stopped by while I was MIA over the weekend.
I can’t believe we’re at the end of another year of A to Z but it’s been a real blast playing along with y’all. Last year I challenged myself to draw graphite drawings (complete post list here) and this year I continued the challenge but instead went high-tech with my iPad, Apple pencil, and drawing app Procreate to sketch my drawings. Today’s letter prompt, I drew ZINNIAS. I used the water brush and airbrush features to splash some color on my digital canvas to end my A-Z iPad art sketches for 2018.

Zen is a buddist method to enlighten the soul through mediation with a teacher but as a Christian, I have the greatest teacher – Jesus Christ and through daily prayer renews my soul.
Sometimes, I find words of truth elsewhere like this Tibetan proverb.

This week’s mewsic theme is YOUR FAVORITE SONG PICKS on Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me and you’re invited to hit the dance floor with my co-hosts, XmasDolly (Party Coordinator), Stacy, and filling in for Colette (taking a break due to illness) is our pawsome friend, Michelle! I have two special announcements to share. First up, we have a new co-host, our very own Alana from Rambling with A.M. Welcome aboard! Give that girl a round of applauds. Secondly, the 4M gang wants one of you to be a co-host for a month, you choose the month that best suits you and you’ll even get to pick the themes for your month (except for the freebie weeks)! May’s honorary co-host is John from The Sound of One Handing Typing. Congrats, my friend, you rock! Let me know if you’d like to give it a try. Sign-up in comments or shoot Marie an email. DEADLINE APRIL 30th.
Please link only mewsic posts below. Thank you! 😉
I hope you enjoyed your visits with me this months. Hopefully, you found encouragement to venture outside your comfort zone and stop procrastinating on something that intimidates you. Life is too short, just do and never throw in your towel. Quitting is not an option. Go at with the attitude, you’re gonna have fun and nothing else matters. I betcha you’ll be amazed at your discoveries, too. Thanks for making me apart of your day and for faithfully sticking me over the past 30 days. I hope you don’t fade away into the sunset never to see me again until next April. 🙂 Remember to please leave your footprints in comments with your signature (URL) so I can find my way back to you. Also, let me know if you’re a new follower, so I can do the return favor. I know the importance of building social networks. I’m heading off to link up with other fellow AtoZers and you’re invited to come along. Join me tomorrow for my latest edition of BoTB!
X💋X💋,
Cathy
