draw a heart everyday

Heart at door

heart at door

I left my heart at the door
I will just sit here alone
alone
maybe someone will bring it in.

I always have a rough time at around the holidays. I’m sad. I feel stuck. I don’t have any of my friends of 19 years here. I miss being able to walk down the street to go see a show. So many great acts coming through The hotel cafe. I miss the hot nights in December were I could go for a long walk. The only thing I am good at is to keep working. That is what I am going to do. I am going to finish one project after another. I need to stay positive and proactive. Going to watch Charlie brown Christmas with the kids. Even going to let them break the rules and stay up late.

Show love. Draw a heart.

Peephole to my heart

peephole to heart

You found the peephole into my heart

The say you can tell a persons true self when they are dirt poor or rich. I am there. I have sacrificed so much this year to projects that I thought would be successful. Nothing panned out. It stings. I really had some great projects but they just didn’t take off like I needed them to. That is life. I haven’t stopped trying. I don’t think I ever will. I don’t give up on love. I don’t give up on dreams. The only way to really make it is to completely go for broke. You will have no other alternative but to make it. Being Homeless is a good motivator. I’ve had a burning headache all day. I need to drink a big glass of water before bed. Hoping beyond hope that I get a good night sleep. Woke up today at 4:30am. They only good thing that came out of it was I did some writing for my novel. Which made the headache not seem so bad. Have to love for that positive lining. Come on 2017 be my year.

Show love. Draw a heart.

Whiskey makes me blue

whiskey, blue., blues, love, heartbreak

Whiskey makes
me blue
but it’s
you that
makes me
cry

I hate it when I have cropping problems. It’s like the image refuses to be cropped. In the saved version it’s cropped. Drives me crazy. Spent a good part of the day putting up a fireplace mantel. It is really cold outside right now. I’m not use to this weather yet. 19 years in California really softens you up. Very happy with this piece. though the heart on the table could be done more subtle. I do love the bottles on the shelf. After I got the mantle up I looked into setting up a zazzle store. I have 931 heart drawings I might as well put them to good use. It’s still a lot of marketing. Need to improve my SEO skills. I need to do something to pull income in. Trying not to let the stress of life get me down. I have people that love me. I need to think only about that. I want to do everything I can for them.

Love is magic

love is magic

When people say love isn’t magic
I show them what my heart looked like before you came into my life

I was sitting at a light waiting for the green arrow. Lost in my thoughts. I keep thinking where did I go wrong. Did I make a wrong turn. Did I stop when I should of being going. Then it dawned on my I had gone exactly where I wanted to go. I didn’t get the result I wanted. Much like the store I was headed to that proved to be closed. Someone had gone home earl. I had no control of what had happened.  The only control I had was my reaction. I went down the street to grab a nice cold drink. I have a wife that loves me. Great kids.I know who I am. I know what makes me happy. I have a lot going for me. More than I sometimes think. I need to spend the new year focused on having positive thoughts about my life.

Show love. Draw a heart.

Moon love

moon love

I would would crawl to the moon for your love.

This didn’t turn out to bad. I needed to get tonight’s piece done early. Tomorrow my daughter goes on a field trip at 6:00am. I need to get everything ready for her to go. Plus I want to get a little sleep. It’s going to be a crazy morning with one cranky girl. She is not a morning person. If it was her brother no problem. Most likely I will carry her to the car. I feel good about my day. I was proactive and mostly positive. I have been a loving dad today. I didn’t let the stress of life get the better of my emotions today. I will never stop trying. I have ten projects right now in various stages of development. The best I’ve been at for years. I need to knuckle down on them. One by one I will finish them. 2017 is going to be my year.

Show love. Draw a heart.

Lovebird > blue

lovebird bluebird

I’m tired of being a bluebird.
I want to be a lovebird.

Trying to stay in a fun mood during the holidays. I never do well this time of year. Lot of old bad memories. I’m grateful that I have a lot of good memories now to replace those. This drawing was inspired a little by Stranger things. I did enjoy that series. I am looking forward to season 2. I have given myself a deadline of moving back to Los Angeles in 186 days. My goal is to finish projects. Get some income coming in so I can move back. If that doesn’t work I will just have to beg my way back . Things aren’t working out here. The wife is looking for a job. I hope to get a little more money in so I can get the kids a couple more Christmas presents. The other thing I am doing is posting a picture everyday of something I am grateful for. I want to be positive in my daily thoughts. I don’t want to give into anger. I need to keep focusing on being a loving. It will all work out.

Show love. Draw a heart.

Love is fun

love is fun

I got that love, love, love deep down in my pocket.

Some days you have to dance with your kids until you fall down laughing. Today I focused on being a dad. Having fun. There is a lot of important issues pressing in society and life. There is a lot of small issues pressing in my life.  I took the day off from all those things. Today it was important to reset what is important. My family. I need to have them be ground zero for all my decisions. Next year could be an incredible year if all the irons in the fire pay off. I almost never take a break. I love this time of year because I get to knuckle down on finishing projects. More news to come. Have fun. dance every day. Love deeply. You never know when it’s going to end.

Show love. Draw a heart.

Melted love

melted love

We were melted by love until we became one.

Wasn’t happy with my productivity today. I didn’t get much done. I’m confused. Life really has me running in circles today. Wondered if ham would work well with oatmeal. Had fun playing with the kids. Was very engaged with the kids today. So that was a positive. Wanted to do more writing. To many errands today. Need to knock out the writing in the morning. Christmas is so close. Trying to stay positive and proactive.

Show love. Draw a heart.

Love and valleys

love valleys

I want to kiss every one of your valleys

As I struggle to make it through the day I can only think about how long I have been married. I have been loved by the same woman for over two decades. I think she loves me more than when we first met. I still desire her. She is my strength. It’s amazing how much strength one can get from being loved. When you are a creative person this can be the full to get you over your doubts. Trust me the more I venture down the creative path the more doubts there is. I fight my way through every doubt. I climb those summits because love is fueling me. I pray that we will still be loving each other as much 20 years from now. Time will tell. I know the only thing that can tear us apart is me. I just have to never let doubt turn to self loathing. To hating myself. I have been down that road many times when I was younger. Love’s light has shown me how dark and dangerous that path is. It is love that veers me to being positive and proactive.

Show love. Draw a heart.
