I know it is winter (the season of my discontent!) and
traumatic February on top of it ,
but really I have come so far from how winters usually are for me.
I need to allow myself to celebrate that a little !
Last Winter was soooooo rough - this one is a lot better.
The best one I have had in recent memory, actually.
So I am allowing myself to feel the ickies and be a little blue
for a bit because those feelings are real...
but at some point it is time to shake that off ! Or at least try !
So what to do to feel better ?
(art journal page - 2008)
Ah, yes...
Need to take a page out of Abigail's Book...
Time to put those wings in motion !
Fuel them up with art making, time with friends, walking, breathing, being grateful...
Start flapping
and before I know it, I should be using those wings to fly again...
So that's what my plan is for this weekend, Beautiful Ones.
Some sweet Wing TLC.
Dinner and a movie with Sonia tonight (Chick flicks RULE for the Blues!)
Shopping for some Mexico duds tomorrow (yes, I leave for Mexico in 11 sleeps ! what do I have to complain about ?!)
Some cozy time with my man in our sweet nest over the weekend.
A few walks with the Chica Dog in the warm winter weather we are blessed with right now.
And Art Journal Love Letters play time with Connie and the gang !
You bet I am grateful !!!!
Here's my song for today...love it so much !
"Take these broken wings and learn to fly..."
Do your wings need some TLC ?
Well, I am sending them the "L"...
I hope you give them the rest...
Big Love to you and your wings, Beautiful Ones and have a great weekend !

Kim,
I wish a bright sun shining day to you. This is my second day of sunshine and I am loving it. I am taking Abigail's advice this weekend. Lots of time with friends and a little art thrown in. Doing some art always brings me out of the blues. Have a great weekend my friend.
I love that song.
Great post. I'm looking at the bright side too.

Hi Kim,
So glad you have warmer days. Spring will be here - really. I know you will have a blast in Mexico . . . margaritas I'm thinkin'!
This winter has ravaged me less than previous ones, too. Good for us! I sure envy you the trip to warmer climes, though.
wishing you lots of warmth and light.
p.s. you have the most endearing eyes. and they say the eyes are the light of the body.
keep smiling. keep shining.
one love.
You look so much like Nina Bagley that for a moment I thought she was on your blog. LOL!! OK, SO I fully understand your feelings and I go throught the same thing. I am getting over bronchitis and even though I have been sick this past week has been a two fold week because I did a lot of journaling, and some quiet crafting sitting in a quiet house. I loved it for th most part. Minus the broncitis it would have been heaven. I plan to see some family this weekend and mail my OWOH packages out. Get ready for work again next week calls for a Sunday afternoon nap. Have a great weekend...
HAAAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Oh I LOVE that picture of you with your tongue out! Hysterically Wonderful! Thanks for helping to cheer me up.
Have fun in Mexico! I hope to make it there one day.
