My life has been blessed. I have a husband who loves me and works with me to have a happy home, I have people in my life who love me and want to see me do well, I love my job, and feel I am making a difference in pets' and people's lives. Importantly, I have time and energy to devote to my art calling. This was an entry in my art journal. The beginning of the year always has me feeling pensive, and thus emerged this thoughtful mermaid, scanning the horizon.
I feel that as time marches inexorably forward, I feel drawn more to the things in my past that have made me happy, things tried and true. Dancing to music, taking a shower with favored products, and putting ink to paper have all been ways to share my soul feelings. Deep down in my bones, I long for the comfort I felt in my youth. I think partly this is because as we age, there are so many changes that are taking place. Life can become a blur. It is important to sit down with your feelings, and mark the passage of time, or else risk your life going by in a flash.
Some things we hang onto, others we let go. While we may have 1 more month of winter, I feel the slippage of seasons, and hints that spring is around the corner. Of course, with spring comes spring cleaning! I purge the things that are no longer serving me, and embrace the things that make me who I am. May this mermaid capture the spirit of reflection needed before cleaning.
