I am working on a new class.  It is all videos.  One every day for a month.  I have had trouble getting the camera positioned right, so I asked Mister to help me.  He volunteered to film all of them for me!  I am so thankful he’s willing to do that.  It’s a huge help because we don’t have a flip screen on our camera so it’s hard to know if I’m getting everything in the shot when I do it alone, and I can’t zoom in on anything if I do it myself.

What I didn’t realize when he offered to help me is that it has brought him into my world of journaling.  He sees me painting and writing in my journal all the time, but I don’t know if he understand what I’m actually doing.  By filming the videos it is like he’s taking the class and I think he is beginning to “get” it.  We messed up the sound on one video we filmed, and had to re-do it.  Before we started the second one, he gave me some great, creative suggestions for making the video show more possibilities.  I’ve always known he is creative but he denies it.

He was looking at his boat longingly while we stood on the back porch this evening.  He said, “If I journaled I’d put a picture of my boat,  draw some waves,  cover it all with gesso, then write I wish I was on the lake.”  I guarantee you that before he met me he didn’t know what gesso was!

It’s nice to have someone to share my life with.
