This week has shown me just how much I prize my family above all other things. A natural disaster has a way of making you see clearly just what is most important.

A bit of colour
I thought I would try some coloured blocks, using stripes, and then write the words I had used in wordle over this. I only had coloured pencils to work with and I think it would have been much more effective if I had used paint. But it is an idea that may translate into a workable design.

Words
We forget just how much we use words to give meaning to images and actions. So with this in minds I quickly wrote a "stream of consciousness" piece about what I Highly Prize. I sketched little illustrations of some of those things, didn't think about spelling, just got it onto paper.
Then I typed this into Wordle and came up with this.

Background
I have always wanted to study art and when I gave up full time teaching wanted to attend University or even take a TAFE (Technical and Further Education) Course. But, when I looked at the cost I just couldn't afford it. Then I came across this challenge on the net.
I grabbed a sketch-book off the shelf, looked up the theme for this month, got a sharp pencil and launched out. But, where to begin? I thought words were what I am most familiar with so it is with words that I will begin.
