Art...

A friend sparked my interest in doing some journaling again. Since I was a teen I've done writing journals but not much in the way of an "art journal." So as I was searching around the other day and I came across a lady who is offering the idea to do a journal page a week for the entire year. I like that idea better then a prompt once a day. It gives me time to think because I don't like the pressure of doing it in that one day. Now there is something to be said for only having one day to not think to hard and do something in that present moment, but for now I decided to go with a slower pace because it felt more enjoyable to me right now.

Resist...

I'm trying to quiet my mind today because it feels like it's going in a thousand different directions. I have so many things I'm trying to keep track of, big decisions to make, and "to do's" to accomplish. All I really want to do today is forget them all and just go away where there is no pressure other people to consider and just relax. But since that is not possible at this present moment, I will go with the flow and not resist... because what I resist ~ persists!

Busy... Busy... Busy...

At least once a month there is a week where it's very busy with things I have to get done. They all come at the same time. I am a slow person so when one of those weeks arrives I have to really use my skills to not get to overwhelmed - like I feel today. Thought if I wrote about it, it might help release some of the pressure that is building as today is Wednesday and I have until Friday to accomplish everything. Some of the things are out of my comfort zone as well, which only adds to the pressure. I don't like it, but I know I can get through this. 

My mantra today is "There is time enough for all that I need to do."
