archer and olive journals

I received three journals a couple of days ago from archer and olive website. That's a lot of journals you might say but I have to tell you how much I love these AO journals. They are so beautiful. I got small one for sketch journal. The yellow one is plain white paper for calligraphy practice. Light blue/green is for my biography/memooier. Now that I have three journals, I hope I get some quiet time to use them and make some art. Early morning might have to be the best time to use them when everyone is sleeping. I usually get free mornings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I am very grateful that I got these journals and I have good health to do this at my free time. Not many people can say they are healthy. With corona virus, a lot of people are struggling emotionally and financially. I am so lucky that I don't have that program. I appreciate what God has given me. Good health, good family and a dohggggg.

less than a week left

I am going to back to work on June 1. I am excited but nervous too. will I be safe? will I be a good librarian? I don't know. we shall see. I miss working but I really enjoyed being at home too. did a lot of projects. one of my favorite things was planting. I hope I can see my flowers bloom. I also planted potatoes, maybe I get to see some in sept. I have to wait 120 days. it's like 87 degrees today. very hot, feels like summer.

Introvert to extrovert

If you met me when I was 10 years old, you would see a very shy girl who might say hi and goes to her room briskly. But now that I am 47, I am not afraid to say what I am thinking or what I think it's right. It's funny how I changed from a very introvert person to an extrovert mom with three kids. Sejin is 19, Yunjin is 17 and Taejin is 13. Wow, I cannot believe my kids are so grown now. It's strange to see them getting more and more independent. Sejin drives, Yunjin has one more year in high school, discovering art as her interest. Taejin excels at school with high scores in math and English. they are all happy and healthy. I am so lucky to have them in my life.

book discussion zoom

so we had another Monday night book discussion with Korean ladies through zoom. the topics we discussed was about missionary mind to help others (black people) in their community. we had seven attendees and the discussion was rather weak and uninteresting but I enjoy being with other Korean women/moms. we talked tor two hours and it was nice. I hope these Korean ladies remember me as a nice person to talk to but sometimes I might come across as direct, very focused, Mary pippin attitude to them. they seem to be very careful about what they say and how they want people to know them as. I am sure they have dark secrets. we meet one more time in two weeks and I hope I get to attend more of these zoom meetings.

Uneasy

I feel like there is a pattern of unhappy feelings when I am on my period. I get irritated and I want to stay away from boh. I try not to piss him off by staying away from him but I think he can sense it. He knows when I don't want to be near him while I am having my period. I can't even look at him sometimes because I get irritated. This is not a nice feeling that I want to have when I am around Boh. He didn't do anything wrong. He works so hard and he tries so hard. But why am I getting so irritated? This is so frustrating. I think I have to really have a bigger heart to forgive and forget. I must really change my attitude. or I will regret hurting his feelings.

Scatch Diary

I did second scatch diary. it is quite interesting draw small items on my own. it's thrilling and I get excited to try new things. I hope I get to continue doing it for a while....

new idea on sketch journal

I read last night that it might be meditative if I start a sketch journal everyday. I am going to try it on my bullet journal. I think it will help me with drawing and calligraphy. Kinda getting excited about it. So stay tuned.
