I have decided to take up painting. Some folk will tell you that you'd better pick one thing and be very good at it. I'm good enough at fighting, even if I'm no match for some folk, I expect I could beat most, and I do well enough in the field. And a woman can't spar and fight all the time, it'd be a dull life indeed. If you ask me, doing nothing but work and duty is no life worth living.
Seeing as all else is just something to do, I think I might as well try my hand at a whole number of things. I was at the thing they did at the Shrine of Jayus, where they had paint and canvas for folk to paint on. Now, I sometimes do some drawings and put some pictures here in my journals and other places, but painting's different, with all the color and everything. I'm sure there's much skill and technique that goes into it, seeing as half what I tried to paint just turned into a smudge of sorts, especially the little things, and that's what I like in a painting. As with most things, I've much to learn.

Oh no! Who is this? Please let any of the disciples there know! One shouldn't feel threatened in the Shrine.

Be careful when going by the Shrine of Jayus. There's a mad woman there that will punch you in the gut if you get too close to her canvas.

Oh thank Jayus. I was worried to look at the sky and find red there, if so much had changed.
Something to ponder while one thinks of change. Change is good, but change everything and the world loses its mind.

At least you know what to expect from my scintillating presence.
How's the song going? Did you track down the banjo-player? There's supposed to be a concert this weekend. Maybe you can play it there!

Each new day is a blessing. A promise of potential, up to each of us to fill. We each have a choice -- a dozen dozen choices on what we want to do with the time we have. It is not an easy thing to grapple with, if you sit and really think about the choices we face. It is so very easy to fall into a line of thought, the illusion that there is no choice. But *everything* we do is a choice. Even if we choose to do nothing at all.
Today, I am choosing not to focus too far ahead.
Today, I am choosing to see the best in those around me, to believe in the essential good in my fellow humans (and elves!).
Today, I am choosing to be the best possible version of myself.
Today, I am choosing to be brave.
Today, I am choosing to be hopeful.
Today, as I do everyday, I will pray to our gods, for the safety of my husband, my family, my fealty, our Compact, our world.
Today, as I do everyday, I will love my husband with all my heart, trust in him and his ability, his honor and his martial prowess.
Today, as I do everyday, I will care for our children, give them love and sustenance and teach them.
Today, as I do everyday, I will work for the health and betterment of those of Arx, through healing the sick and wounded and preparing for what comes.
Today, as I do everyday, I will teach someone something new.
Tomorrow I will be better.
Tomorrow I will be stronger.

In just a few short weeks, the world has become far more complicated than I ever imagined it could be.
I am finding solace in the quiet, late nights when I am able to work on my book. It shall be my pride and joy when it is completed.
Perhaps it is a useless thing to write a book, when there is so much else going on that seems so deserving of the effort. But my knowledge and capabilities are in numbers, and it is there that I find peace.
To live in a simple numerical world, where the greatest excitement is being an award-winning clam. Ah, what a life that would be.
