The main reason why I started blogging back in 2013 was to share some days and moments and feelings I want to get back to later on, and even though I regularly write in my diary, I rarely find myself looking back in the old pages of it, but I often open my old blog posts and just scroll the screen reading like a viewer, ending up reliving all the emotions that were once in me at that time.
It’s nine PM, a quiet night. I want to remember today, to remember how I felt about this city and the gloomy weather and about art. about the ginger cinnamon candle that was burning all day long. about the silence when Daniel took a nap. About the way I miss him. About the way my paint mixes with water and become translucent. about the first watercolor class i gave earlier. How it feels to teach again after the longest break and how the cup of coffee after the class tasted ten time more better than usual, because I am teaching once again.
I saw a seagull flying near my window, I made a few more layers on a painting I am currently working on. I dreamt of a girl with red headscarf and dreamt of snowflakes.
Daniel and I went on our usual walk, saw a swaying leaf falling slowly till it settled on the ground.
An old white bearded man selling napkins across the street, he told me to take care of my baby, it is becoming so cold lately he said.
I got my sweet soy milked latte and went back home humming “love of my life” while stroking his hair.
We stood on the front yard alone this evening for few minutes, no kids were playing outside like usual, it’s a gloomy Tuesdays and all kids are getting warm at their home.
We went up and I started to do some of the house chores and collect all the trash to put out. It was almost seven PM which means night time rituals, dimmer lights, diaper change and bed time songs till my baby is in dreamland and I am in my creative mode again. Still got an hour or two till I am out of energy and needing my bed. had a bite, got my shower, called my family, Normally would either write or paint a little more (in today’s case it was this post)..
Documenting thoughts, Another autumnal day with many little details.
