School is back in session and I back to my classroom of kiddles, summer camps are over here at The Bishop\u2019s Ranch, and summer visitors have all come and gone, my son is back at college. For me this is a perfect time to make some resolutions \u2013 create new habits, and get into gear with the habits I let slide in the extraordinary days of summer. So I\u2019m back to my yoga class and morning hikes, I\u2019m back to my breakfast of oats and quinoa and now I am adding flossing every day \u2013 I know what you\u2019re thinking \u201cshe doesn\u2019t floss everyday?\u201d I confess I don\u2019t and I\u2019ve been lying to my hygienist for years but this week I have flossed every day! More importantly I have decided I want to meditate every day \u2013 a bit of flossing of the mind if you will- loosening of the flotsam and jetsam that clogs the mind and gently pushing it out. I have set the bar low to start I have been meditating 10 minutes a day. I figure if I can start that habit and prove to myself that I have the time then I will stretch it out longer as the fall progresses. I have to say I feel it, my teeth and gums are vibrant and happy and so is my spirit \u2013 things feel less stressed less pressing\u2026 Ok I know it\u2019s only been a week but really It\u2019s good \u2013 I\u2019m keeping this habit.<\/p>\n<p>To commemorate the opening days of ordinary time I decided to start a art journal. I haven\u2019t really done one \u2013 I have a sketchbook that is more about ideas and inspirations but just quick notes and scribbles. I found this 1960\u2019s art book- that was titled \u201cModern Painting, Contemporary Trends\u201d. The pages are nice and thick and not glossy at all. If you can believe it the color art photos are pasted in individually! Anyhow I lightly gessoed up some pages and decided to do something\u2026. I remembered my thoughts about the return of ordinary times and decided to depict ordinary objects. My eyes landed on my scissors and a sewing needle. So here it is the first two pages in my art journal (pictured above) I used pencil, marker, watercolor crayons, tissue and other papers from my stash with some matte medium over the top \u2013 Oh Yeah and of course as you&#8217;ve probably noticed my favorite obsession, I did a little spray painting with stencils too. I promise to show you more as ordinary time continues!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2095\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/221a-ordinarytime.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2095\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2095\" src=\"https:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/221a-ordinarytime.jpg?resize=660%2C880\" alt=\"1960 art book \" width=\"660\" height=\"880\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>1960 art book &#8220;Modern Painting &#8211;\u00a0 Contemporary Trends&#8221; spray painted of course!<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well summer is waning, don\u2019t say it I know what your thinking \u201cbut it\u2019s not even Labor day yet!\u201d \u2013 true enough but for me &#8211; here &#8211; ordinary time has begun.
