Purple flowers. They are currently bringing joy into my home.
Happy 10.10.10. I hope yours went well. I’m still in the funk that seems to be enveloping me right now. I can easily list you many reasons for it but I think it’s time to just snap out of it. I’ve been thinking a lot about the “what you focus on flourishes” adage lately (I should make an art journal page on that one.) and I’ve been stuck on this negativity with one of the issues in my head and it’s time to let it go. I should either embrace the positive things about it or walk away from it. Both are viable options. Sitting and sulking and having conversations in my head over and over again is not a viable option. So expect a much better attitude tomorrow. Enough is enough.
I snapped very few photos today for some reason. This is one of the little boy.
And one of the big one.
And that’s it. Not sure why.
I did scrap, walk, and make an art journal page today. and I played cards with David. And we all went out to dinner together. So there was much activity. I just feel enveloped by negativity a bit. I am officially telling myself to let it go. let it go. let it go. do you think it will work if I just repeat?
Here’s to waking up with a better attitude tomorrow and hopefully finally getting to write all the thoughts on my mind. I hope your weekend was good. Giveaway coming tomorrow.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am thankful that I got my ring back. I don’t know if you remember but a few months ago, the diamond in my engagement ring had fallen off. We found it and sent it in to get fixed. It took a long while and more money than I would have liked but here it is, back on my finger and it’s buffed and shiny.
2. I am grateful that jake and I spent some time playing Wii last night. It was super fun to play just the two of us.
3. I am grateful that I got to play cards with David today. It was so much fun to watch him play and win and lose and just have a good time with me.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. coloring
2. playing crazy eight with mommy
3. going out to dinner together
oh my. That shocked face photo is classic!! Your boys are both darling.
Hope tomorrow is a better day with all sorts of positivity : )
Your art journal is amazing, Karen. Sometimes we have to have some low days so that we can really appreciate those good days and realize how extra special they really are. I’ll check in on you tomorrow.
I write my thoughts that I need to let go of on a piece of paper, then fold the paper into it’s smallest bit and bury it in the woods in my yard. It disintegrates slowly, turning back to earth and so slowly it leaves my thoughts.I also write thoughts down in my art journal, gesso over them and then create something pretty on top of them. Turning bad into good.But sometimes I just have to physically get rid of them.
my husband told me to do the envelope and bury thing. supposedly it really works! i need to try it.
