Today has been kind of a hard day for me. I seem to be trucking along as I often do, doing what needs to be done, then WHAMO. I get side swiped by a rush of emotions. [What is that about??]
Today was just hard. At one point. I had both of my daughters crying in the backseat on their way home from visiting their dad’s house because they missed him, and they didn’t get to snuggle him.
Sometimes divorce is heartbreaking. Then, me; sitting in the car, listening to music that was just too melancholy. Letting it take me to that place… Wait a minute.. This is a JOY JOURNAL. Snap out of it.
Today’s little joy is COLOR. Ahhhh. Ok, it’s a big joy for me. I find that if I surround myself with color, it breathes creativity into me. I need it. It’s like a silver cocoon wrapping around me, feeding me, filling me. We’ve been in our cute little house for a bit over a month and I’ve painted 4 rooms :)
This is the painting that sits directly over my dining room table. It’s painted with metallic acrylics, and it’s so gorgeous it SHINES>> It literally brings sunshine to my soul every morning :) It has all of my favorite colors in it, although this photo doesn’t show it very well.. Rusted Orange, Aqua, Limes and Browns. Its just yummy. Couple that with the calming blue-green on the wall.. Yes.. Pure Happiness :)
