Kaleidoscope

Here's to a good day.

• Making stretcher bars in the sculpture studio. I didn't realize I missed working with wood and drills so much. I think I took it for granted when I was in UCLA, but now it's really exciting for me.
• Walking with Anna to new places and pointing out cute things always brightens up my day.
• Teaching art for Cal Create for the first time officially and meeting the students was fun and rewarding.
• Just hanging around a pottery yard called Aw Pottery.
• Passing by older people in Oakland who just stop to talk to you for two to three minutes to share a piece of their lives with you. Side note: should visit Fairyland with the #realfriends. It's all handmade, built in 1950, and it may have inspired Walt Disney's creation of Disneyland. It's for younger kids but honestly I love how we can all embrace those childhood hearts of ours.
• Golden Retrievers and dandelions.
• Milkshakes and Floor Coffee at Blue Door Cafe.
• Talking to strangers is nice.
• I have to realize that life is like a kaleidoscope. You only have one lens with specific colored pieces, but you can always shake it up and manipulate your point of view to create your own happiness.
