Happy Thanksgiving, folks! This week, I received my Moleskine in the mail for the Sketchbook Project 2011, a nationwide tour of thousands of themed sketchbooks submitted by artists. I signed up just in time, and as someone who doesn’t regularly keep a sketchbook, it sounded like a cool exercise for the next two months. My theme? Happy thoughts!
Before I got into brainstorming concepts and drawing away, I thought I’d celebrate the holiday by writing a list: everything that makes me happy. Free association. In no particular order. It was a lot of fun, and as I look it over now, I couldn’t be more grateful to have all these things – and especially, people – in my life.
What’s on your list? As we head into the holiday season, count the things you’re grateful for . . . I’m sure there are plenty of reasons to be happy today!
