Day Seven-

Since I have been having difficulty finding time in my busy day, I decided to wake up early today.  This was amazing! I always get up at the last possible moment.  Luckily for me, I am a quick drive to the downtown campus, this means I tend to wake up 20mins before class.  Today was different. Today was nice. Today was relaxing, all because I started my day with a little bit of ‘me’ time.  I am surprised to discover I was not as tired as initially anticipated.  Of course, it was a struggle to get out of bed but once I was up and the tea kettle on, I was ready to start the day.  After making my cup of tea, I decided to pamper myself with a manicure.  I don’t normally paint my nails because I am a nail biter.  I mean the bite, chew, and pick at your nails until they bleed, kind of nail biter.  Regardless of this terrible habit, I have many nail polishes/colours in my collection.  Today I decided on my all-time favourite, green.  When I began to paint my nails I was surprised to see they were actually long! (Reasonably for someone who always bites them).  It was at that point that it hit me; this project is actually doing something! I bite my nails when I am stressed, bored or uncomfortable and this project seems to be helping me with these issues.  Painting my nails was much more exciting with this new discovery (a little filing was actually in order) and when I was finished I was actually satisfied with the final product (even though I CANNOT paint my right hand).  By the time I got to school, I realized I did not say one word all morning.  My parents were at work, I received no phone calls and I’m not one to talk to myself.  It’s interesting that it took me time to realize because it felt as if I was in conversation all morning.  Caught up in a world of colour, fumes and my own thoughts, I had a wonderful morning.  Oh, and did I mention I was happy for the entire day (especially when I looked down at my LONG fingernailsJ).  I think I could get use to this kind of early morning.

Wishing you colourful mornings

This sums up my painting ability

Hmmm...so many choices
