Ten Ten Ten

Well would you look at that, I made a mid-week post! I'm doing a little better. I'm still staying quite the busy bee, and trying to better organize myself in other areas, work, personal, creative, and I have a lot of things coming my way and things I want to accomplish! So just sharing.

The last couple days, I've been working on a few of these "lists of 10", no meme or anything, just something I jotted down as a post idea, and finally decided to throw it in. Why 10? Just because really... I just felt like 10. It could make for a bit more "AJ Enlightenment" for ya. So how about we start with...

My 10 favorite works of art.

Now, just a note that I made this a list of 10, but I have so many favorite works of art, I just narrowed it down for the sake of this shorter list. Each one I love for a different reason. Don't feel like explaining why now, just know it's a reflection of something in my soul.

2. "Nighthawks" 1942 by Edward Hopper View

Write a 10 line poem. (Really? Am I that quick?)
Ok, let's wing it:
"On the wings of the wind I hear your song
keeping me peaceful at night, and all along
on the lips of the wind I hear your voice
whispering why you left, that you'd made your choice
I feel the fingers of the wind brush the hair from my face
You know I always hated it to be out of place
In the eyes of the sun, I see your smile
Brightening our paths to go another mile
Then in the shadow of dreams I hold my pillow to me
and hear you whisper "All in time, one day you too will be free..."

and finally...
My 10 favorite sounds:

1. My husband's laughter
   
2. Thunderstorms / Rain
   
3. My favorite music
   
4. Voices of my Loved Ones
   
5. All the frogs at night
   
6. Crickets too (evening sounds)
   
7. Songs of Birds
   
8. Wind in the trees
   
9. Noises horses make
   
10. Complete Silence

I don't wanna ruin this stuff with too many more words, but I hope you enjoyed my little self-meme list of tens... Just something to do, and I enjoy lists.

Hope you're all doing well, and I'll pop in when I can. If you leave me a comment and say hello, I would appreciate it and you would help me remember who to pop in and visit. It's so hard to keep up with everyone. If you're reading this, leave a note even if you're anonymous. Just to let me know you were here. Love to you! -AJ (a.k.a. Jaxxx, a.k.a. Jackie)
