Jared and I went to the main park in downtown Colorado Springs tonight to listen to a couple of bands play. We did listen to the music for a while, but something wonderful happened when we left the park. Originally we were just going to get something from Starbucks (our new "usual" due to the convenience of Jared's employment) and head back to the park. After ordering the drink we changed our minds and decided to walk down Tejon (main street down the city). Upon this walk we made the most wonderful discovery - the chick crawl. I'm not totally sure what this 'chick crawl' was, but it lead us to an open house at an art gallery. We went inside and the rest is history! I feel so alive right now, like the coming of spring after a long winter. There is a spring to my step and lightness in my chest. Art. Creativity. Beauty. Color. Smiles. Possibilities. (deep sigh) Oh I cannot wait to pick up a pencil or paint brush again. Although the small, dark voice inside me keeps saying art isn't my thing. I am not an artist and I never will be. They are lies!! I am an artist. I AM AN ARTIST! And I won't let fear or bordem or lies take my imagination and spirit away from me. Oh thank you Lord for Annette and Karen and all the artists we met tonight who have re-ignited a passion inside of me! I am just so happy 8-D
