BEGIN AGAIN
PREFACE
I haven't painted or done anything artsy-craftsy for longer than I can remember...seriously. I can't recall the last time I let myself enjoy the experience of creation. That's not good for me. It has to change.
STORY
I have been reviewing my blogs and have realized that I haven't written anything either. I began keeping journals (diaries) soon after my husband of 20 years died in Oct/2002. It was a way for me to vent my feelings and thoughts, a way to keep routine in my life (record the weather, what time I got up, what I did...), and to bring discipline into my life (which is in sore need! I am probably one of the most undisciplined people I know). And then blogs came into existence, and I thought it was a better way to record everything...and save trees.
I need to vent again. I need to do art. I need the internal motivation and to give myself permission. I am unemployed yet again and have been depressed beyond what I have ever experienced before. I need to channel that into something productive.
CONCLUSION
Today, I will do one thing that is creative. And tomorrow, I will do another. Peace & Joy!
