Put in A Good Week

Despite a tough week, I finished Week 7 with basically what I intended: 7 days in a row of morning pages, 7 days of goodly walks, 7 days of yoga, 6 days of decluttering, and an okay (but not fantastic) Artist Date. Now I'm ready to TAKE OFF...except for my morning pages, which I'm addicted to now :) I stretched and grew and strived and learned...and now I'm ready for a little rest.

So, I've given myself permission to let things slide this week to allow myself to gain energy again to be able to do things from a "want to" instead of a "have to" perspective.

This week I want to improve my Artist Date. Week 7 I did a collage about my life crisis, which was healing, but grief-filled and painful as all get out. It was not fun. An AD is supposed to be FUN!! So, this week FUN is on the agenda!

Though it may have been painful to create your collage - the result is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
Hope you have a fun AD! Sounds like you've really earned it.

Thank you, tinker. It was sort of a big step for me to share something so personal, and so I appreciate your kind words. I did have a fun AD tonight and will write about it soon. Thank you for visiting me here!

Wow, you did your walks and date and Pages...all of them. I'm impressed. Your slacking time is well earned. Beautiful piece in the photo, too. Thank you for sharing it.

You're welcome, Kelly, welcome back! Thanks for the support. It's a bit scary to share my art but fun at the same time to extend and get some feedback, especially if it's postive :)
