To Journal or not to Journal.....
Journal of course......
o.k I am in a phase of those early rises where yesterday I chose to lie with it and eventually slept...infact slept in! n felt better for it...after a week of 'work' and feeling the breath of the "time police" down my neck I figured it must be better for me to do that soooo I did......but today there are not enough hours in the day to balance my creative longings n my committment to others (which I am looking forward to tooo ).... and if I dont scratch my creative itch I WILL break out in a resentment rash sooo up at crack of dawn to outlet onto some journal pages and colour in mermaids... Inside this 49 year old woman there is a 9 year old girl...and its time to let her play.....

"Early one morning just as the sun was rising I heard a......"
So early this morning I sat listening to the birds sing inbetween the rumblings of the airoplanes landing or setting off (we live near the airport on the flight path) pondering on how grateful I felt ...how happy I feel and how blessed I am. Aftermy cuppa n toast Ill scoot off to York see my lovely mum (n her doggy Ambz) we'll drive to the sea side and spend the day up n down a beach throwing ball n ambling....there is heaven on earth and this is it! although of course true heaven is having chel n mel there toooo.So this morning i used my wee jotter n jar to capture how i was feeling...Ive done this all year on top of my art journalling and its worked for me in respect of sometimes 'putting stuff to bed' so as its not wooshing through my head as i hit the pillow fuelling insomnia,gives me a way of savouring joyful feelings generating personal happiness and also this year contains some reference to my health goals and is creating a little progress map on that front.....of course to anyone else they look like random jottings in a jar but they mean so much more to me.

Summer Sunshine .....
I am grateful for many things ...
The summer weather we're having..and the joy the warmth the sun gives when it massages my face with its rays..
The good health to walk, jog a little and swim.
My yoga studio and classes that increase my self confidence and give me a sense of peace and calm.
My job.....that brings in the 'bacon'
My friends and family there's lots of lovely stuff going on for them and I love being with them.
My garden ...it looks kinda pretty...
My loving inner talk that manages to bring about some balance as it jostles with its more critical and negative companion ...love and accept 'em both.
LIFE ..and all it is and is not....
My ageing body..reminding me to take care of it and listen to it
The trips I've had to the seaside..they've been out of this world!
That I might just be starting to dream a little again ....and feel a little bit of wonder about where it might take me.......
Thankyou.
