A Beautiful Day

Friends 10 x 12" acrylic

On our morning walk, I could feel the sea calling.
The sun is shining so beautifully, a mild day in February.
I can hardly wait till I can put my neoprene suit on again and swim.

 
I used to swim as a child and than living in bigger cities I had not made the transition going to the indoor pools. Last summer, I was overcome with joy to discover my deep love for the water again. And with this fantastic suit on, I feel somewhat protected because I am a pool girl deep at heart.

A good start into Ash Wednesday.

Oil-pulling, yoga and mindfulness practice.

Mary and I were talking this morning what we would give up for lend. I came up with not getting hooked on all the turbulence that is going on in the world around me. That does not mean ignoring it but I don't want to feed it with stories I am creating, let's see how this will go.

In my head, I am getting ready to create leather bound journals, have to get it out of my head and into action.

This afternoon, I am taking part in a group session for anxiety through Mental Health. I am curious how it will unfold and what I will discover about myself.

Happy Valentines Day!

A day of curious discovery!
   

Studio Window View

Gulf Shore Feb.2018

I feel grateful for this view.

A crisp day, wind coming from the north.
The Northumberland Strait is still open, has been most of these winter month.
The ice does not stay. Interesting! Concerning?

The ground is bare, hardly any snow.

The light is beautiful.

Started the day of with a yoga practice and a sitting practice.

Change in the outer world can take my grounding away,
occupying my brain and creating barriers to be creative.

Working today on facing these demons and do it anyway!
