Laughing in Stereo

What I worked on today...still trying to create at least something every day.  I like this one, it's spirited.  I imagine the laugh to be flirty or false so I especially love that she's laughing with herself and to herself.  I anticipate an, "Oohhhh, Daaarliinnngg.  We simply must get together sometime..."  She also probably has a liquid breakfast if you know what I mean.  Not that I judge!  Whatever floats yer boat.  But I like her, she's a character and at least in this moment, she's quite charming.  

I love when I make myself laugh...although I can't remember the last time I did.  I suppose I have been in a bit of a rut lately...  I do laugh a lot with Twila.  Her world is a lot of fun and her down moments are so fleeting.  The other day when I picked her up from school I spotted her running around the playground with her friends and then ten steps later when I arrived at the gate to join her she was crying.  "What happened?"  I ask.  She was too snivel-y to reply so her friend told us that James hit her with a stick.  Ohhh, James.  It's funny how differently boys and girls get into their imaginations.  A minute later I put Twila down to go and retrieve her belongings.  When I came back she was on the see-saw with James.  I love it!  No grudge, no fear, tears...just smiles and laughter.  I've stopped asking myself things like, "When does the innocence disappear?"  and have instead tried to take a page out of her book.  A better question to ask myself is, "Why can't it be that easy?"  I find that when I do, things seem easier because they are easier.  Perspective, I'm open to it changing.  So after I hit "Publish" I am going to stop feeling one way and feel another.  It's that easy. 

PS- I have finally gotten the ACoLab up and running again.  Hope to see you over there!
