I have recently discovered the joy of art journaling. So many talented journalists abound and their creativity has led me here. In the journey of life, one can get so lost in making a life, one tends to miss the life altogether. At the age of 57, I am now just finding out what I truly enjoy and love doing. Art is one of those things. However, let me just say, I don't feel I have a talent but thankfully, that doesn't mean that talent is not there. It may be just waiting to be revealed.
I think this is exciting and a whole new world for me. So this is about anyone's life that doesn't feel quite fulfilled yet. Maybe it's never too late to find joy even in every day matters. Just a doodle can end up being quite the art. It's the sheer fun of creating something, anything that reflects who we are.
I think what you are doing is amazing, the fact that you have discovered this artistic part of yourself and have decided to nurture it is inspiring. I appreciate your willingness to open up and share with us all!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteKandice, Your action of moving the snail from one side of the sidewalk to the other reminds of a beautiful blond haired girl I knew when I was young. She was as elegant as a swan with a laugh that tinkled like glass wind chimes on a soft breeze. I loved her dearly. She would place life and limb, mine as well, in jeopardy in order to miss the frogs that covered the road after a Fl evening rain.I hope she remembers it as vividly as I.
ReplyDeleteShe had the most uncanny knack of finding hidden beauty even though she is only learning of it now. Your inner child is as alive now as it was then.....give me more.
