Autumn

We are now fast approaching autumn.  This is my favorite time of the year, time to think about apple picking, pumpkins, leaf peeping.  However, it is still summer and I find it a little sad that I have already seen so many leaves start to change and fall.

But I feel an excitement in the air, my son is in school, if I can juggle work and appointments I may get a couple of days where I can explore the wonders that are out there.  Taking pictures and maybe getting back into drawing.  The thoughts of a couple of hours being able to nurture myself in ways I haven't for years is so exciting to me, and therapeutic as well.  Let the autumn begin!!

Beginings

I have been through a lot of changes lately,  I also have come to realize that I am not taking care of myself.  One thing I have decided to do in this new chapter of my life is to add art back into my life.  How you may ask?  I have begun taking pictures.  I am by no means a photographer, but would love to become one during my journey.  I have always enjoyed creating.  In the past I have done scrap-booking, cards, a little mixed media thrown in there, crocheting, cooking,  music, etc.  However I have let a lot of that go over the years to devote my time and energy into everyone around me and not taking care of me. Today I have decided to change that.  Today I will start to:

 Look for the joy and love in the world.

 Look for the beauty,

 Look for the creativity, on your own and with your children,

  This is the beginning of my journey.  Please join me.......
