Get Ready and Be Patient

Today is the first Sunday in Advent, when Christians all over the world revisit the idea of getting ready and being patient all at the same time.  Sort of like getting ready to go on a trip:

I'm anticipating a trip to Palm Springs here.  This drawing in my journal was done with new Gelatos (thanks Dianne!) and watercolour pencils to add the details.  It was inspired by my friend Mimi who suggested I might do 29 cactus drawings while I'm away.  Sort of like 29 Faces, only a different subject.  What a great idea - I am so excited I couldn't wait to get started!
