Afternoon Impressions, 12 x 16
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
― Rumi
SO,
Back to the Drawing Board (literally) -- I've been doing gesture drawings or studies, of everything -- photos of kids, Michael's hand, drooping roses, the bushes in my snowy Atlanta yard.
Making Lists of All Things Positive -- I've been lying in bed each morning appreciating everything.
Getting Up Earlier and Doing New Workouts -- which makes me feel strong and on top of it.
Remembering This: the most important goal is to be joyful in LIFE, then all else will flow.

Living mindfully, I shall reach for joy by meditating, drawing, playing, interacting, walking, thinking, looking at fine work, trying new things, and just by letting myself stumble so I can get up and fly higher.
And most importantly, I shall keep looking out the windshield, not the rear-view mirror!
