I have been thinking a lot in the last few months about what makes life rich and rewarding.  I have come up with my theme for the year,"FRAME THE MOMENT".Great literature and fabulous movies capture our attention because they present every day life in a frame. A moment is brought to our attention by framing.  A simple leaf blowing down an empty street all of a sudden has meaning.A women measuring coffee beans into a grinder with an old dog at her feet becomes a rich moment. When moments are framed we are asked to stop and examine them. I must have a million of these moments every day.  Most of them are fleeting.  I have to start framing them. My life is by no means a great book or an indi film, but I have framable moments. I am having a framable moment now.I'll set the scene,

         I'ts 4:50am on one of the coldest mornings on record here in Ohio.  I'm in my art studio sitting in my thinking chair with a shawl around my shoulders.  The house is still. My husband is asleep in our bed. Should I make coffee or tea? I can see this on the big screen.
