Friday was my art journal class Woo hoo !! I often find myself tired from the work week come Friday so I usually putz around home. However when it's Art Journal night I'm super re-energized. I love to get to class and let go of the week's woes.
The class this week was no let down- in fact I think I came away with my most favourite page to date. It had me smiling and feeling so darn happy inside. The colours and style are completely me !!
In class we worked with the Dina Wakely acrylic paints - so loving them !!! I know what my next craft purchase is going to be :-)
I'm sure you can appreciate when you find something that you love to do - for me it's being creative whether in my art journal, cards or sewing. I'm most happy and truly at peace. The stress and worries simply disappear as I focus on what I'm doing - I'm completely lost in the joy.
I think as you age you discover more about yourself and appreciate who you really are. I've often reflected on how busy and structured I was when I was younger, building a career, our home and family - the perfect life !
The reality is often in your strive for the perfect life you can lose sight of your " personal loves" partifcularly if you don't stop to take the time for you.
I'm not a regrets kinda gal 'cause the way I see it is if I'm feeling any regret then I've still got time to change it. So that's where I am in my life now - spending time allowing myself to be creative through whichever medium I'm working with. It's an incredbly fun feeling !!!
I hope you take time to give yourself what it is that provides you that happiness,
Hugs,
Diane
