The boy and I went to the zoo Saturday. It was a beautiful perfect day with sun but not hot. The animals were chipper and enjoying the weather. It was really nice one on one time for me and my son that we have not had in awhile. We took our time, ate lunch and I let him take the pictures with the camera. I will post some later in the week when I remember to take the camera out of the glove box of the car.

Yesterday we finally made a return visit to church where we celebrated not only mother's day but Pentecost. I went up for prayer and got that extra jolt and good confirmation from God that I am on the right track, to stay focused, and to believe for the impossible to happen. I have missed church, big time!

My son got me a single red rose for Mom's day, with a card. His father said he shopped by himself and even used his own money. I am so touched by his efforts this year. He also did his best to not act up in church, even though he did begin to get a little out of himself, all went fine.

Later in the day, we met Donna and her brother at my studio so he could see my work. He was mostly impressed with my graphic design work and asked me to design him a business card. He says he knows a lot of people he can get me this type of work from. I don't think he's a big fan of my show paintings, but I think mostly it's because he's coming from a place where he really does not understand them or care about that kind of thing. I don't know. He liked my abstracts though. He also really liked the studio itself.

I have paperwork to do this morning, a logo design and have the call the garage about that brake light on the car. I may not make it to the studio today. I may just get all of this done so I can fill the rest of my week with studio time. I try to be careful about managing my time, I think it's one of the things that makes or breaks your own personal business. It's hard to be disciplined when you have this much freedom, one has to stay on target and motivated. I'm trying to work myself into a schedule so I can get into a flexible yet stable routine.

Well, my kid is finally out of bed and getting ready for school. I'm gonna go help him get that done. And then to work.
