painting and picking flowers

I know mine mind is restless, whenever it is I have an urge to make something. I have been painting, not really sure I even like these paintings but that isn't really the point...they relax me.....the circles.....it must been painting the circles that is doing it for me. I also have been pulling over the car and hopping out picking wildflowers and roses from abandoned roses bushes. Arranging bouquets, some are simple and some are showy, it is another standby that relaxes me. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around moving to Japan. "Moving from Italy to Japan, a housewife with three kids, a dog, three guinea pigs and an adventurous husband, stay tuned for more on this story" imagine an official sounding newscaster saying this, what is the real story? Is it even news? When I think of this move, I miss my turn I was supposed to take when I am driving, I forget why I walked into a room, I end up looking lost in the grocery store because, surprise, I forgot my shopping list .....yeah sometimes I just have to stop and paint and pick flowers.
