The behinder I get....
Lewis Carol quotes crop up from time to time. This suits me very well right now. I am recovering from yet another injury. This time my foot put me out of commission. I had to cancel several activities but a flood of other things fills that space. One of the enjoyable things was a couple of weeks ago our church women's group got together with an artist and painted. Yup, I produced a picture in about an hour and a half. I've done three more since then. I don't need to do one more thing on my list. I don't need to paint at all. I am studying an art therapy course online. Part of what art, such as painting can do for me, is to provide time to meditate. What I decided was that I deny myself the pleasurable things in life as some sort of weird self punishment. I am choosing to put these activities back into my life. I am starting one piece at a time. The art articles are accurate for me. Painting allows a time for meditation. It lets my mind focus somewhere else while I keep my hands busy. I am enjoying the pleasure of producing something pleasing.
