Think of Happy Things

Am I the only one who experiences blocks of time where it seems everything goes wrong? This week has been one of those times and I have had to introspect about how to get through it all.

One thing I know for sure is that dwelling on negative things that I can't change, is futile. Sometimes I can't just jump up and take action either.

This week I tried to stay in my happy place and just breathe through it. And, so, I painted.



" Just think of happy things and your heart will fly on wings" ~Peter Pan


By the time I finished this painting, many encouraging things had come about. These occurred because I took a deep breath and thought of the positives in my life.

I put those pesky negative thoughts into perspective.

To be honest, most of them will have conclusions in a few weeks (good or bad, who knows) and considering the time span of my entire life, I realize that a couple of weeks is really nothing.

    1. Thank you, Sandee. Sometimes, I find the best reation to negative is no reaction until you can figure it out or it takes care of itself.

  5. Thank you tomeki28. That means a lot. Art is so subjective and it is nice to see who has commonality with me where mine is concerned.
