 Today's post is a revisit to Day 846: November 19, 2014 
Someone asked about my layout and I mentioned the cheeseburger, 
I hunted it up and I hope you might enjoy?


If it, in any way, appears that ...
these daily blogs come easy ... well they don't!
Oh some do, like yesterday's ...
it was "ease-peasy" as my friend Libby says.
Once in a great while I have a specific goal.
But many, like today, have to be scoured for.
A lot of staring into space, waiting for divine help.
Padding around in my dusty brain for even a scrap of an idea.





I guess I think of each post as a hamburger.




The top bun is some piece of my artwork.
This because early on I was told that they liked the art part.
This part of the sandwich is easy, as I have files!






The middle or meat & cheese, is a few sentences ...
often just nonsense, so I keep it short.
This because early on, 800+ days ago ...
I asked daughter, WonderWoman, if she read my blog?
In that daughter voice that you know, if you have one ...
she said, "Mom, I am so busy!" And she is!
But, I said in my perfected Mom voice ...
"Erin, it takes 1 minute!"
And so I keep it short, usually. Today not as much?
Sometimes there are short garnishes ...
happening, upcoming stuff, dojo tally etc.



The bottom bun is the smile for the day.
Everyone seems to like that, and ...
that also comes easy, as I have a "funny" file.




So, thank you for bearing with me as I rattle along ...
I did get my title and blog for today in the process...
Day 846 ... in a row! ( 3021 days!)
I don't get many comments, but google says you are out there!
Thank you for your patience & persistence.
I really appreciate YOU!

You are the queen of hair and eyes. I love looking at how you achieve both of them. it gives each one of your works personality. Love your hamburger explanation, too. :-)

Thanks, John, I so appreciate your comments daily, a treat in itself.

I simply have to agree with John, I couldn't express it as good as he does. So I also learn something by reading not only your blog but also all the comments.
Maybe you heard about the terrible terror attack we had in Vienna yesterday evening. 4 people dead and more than 20 injured. Our country is shocked.
You have an exciting day today too. We all wait for the result of the election.
Let's hope for better days ahead. Take care, dear Jacki!

The quote from Booker T Washington is so profound and certainly a lesson for today.

Even the days that I am on overload and can not take time to read your blog, I always enjoy the extra treats on the days when I can take more time and read the saved up ones.
