Our local paper had a picture of the Northern Lights as seen downtown last night. Huh, really? We were clueless and didn’t know it was going to happen. This morning Kaitlin sent a screen shot of the lights from the Valles Caldera webcam.
It was fun seeing the pictures, but I’m not sorry I didn’t see it in person. My life is full right now, not busy, just leisurely and rich. In Vacation and Life Style Change? I said I wanted to take time to enjoy how the uncluttered apartment looks for 30 days. That part seems to be working. It’s now easy for me to keep that uncluttered look, and I’m continuing to reorganize, recycle, and toss out parts of my old life to make room for art supplies that I’m starting to play with. Not because I want to create finished products, but to feed my soul as Kurt Vonnegut says. And, of course, I’m still doing a lot of physical therapy exercises that I’m integrating into my life. At the moment it’s all tying together nicely.

Of course, this change wasn’t exactly on your radar at just this time – but the changes you make will see you into a bright future. Aha, art materials – that’s one interesting hole, but a fun hole – finding out what your like doing.
My journey with Arts4Health as been enlightening – the first time I turned up to play in the Open Studio – I had no idea what I would do. The staff were both encouraging and complimentary. The other “artists” are interesting as well, some have physical and/or mental issues. Now I go with an open mind, although most of the time I just tear up magazines and glue them down on nice paper…but I’ve been inspired to do more at home…
Do what you enjoy; not what others tell you to do to enjoy.
God bless.
