Haiku My Heart–What’s right ?

 

Retrograde madness

Be gone. Focus on the good.

What is right with you ?

 

******************

Quickly now, what are three things that are right with you and your world in this very moment ?

Here are mine :

1. Flowers in bloom

2. Silly laughs with hubby before he went to work this morning

3. I am a part of something beautiful, like the wonderful Haiku My Heart family that joins together every Friday for small words and loving encouragement.

Haiku My Heart @ recuerda mi corazon

 

Of course the list can go on and on, but that is a place to start…

Deep breaths, light and love to you, Beautiful Ones.

It’s been a grey day.

I am still pretty low energy but feeling so much better.

I joyfully spent the day streaming movies on the iPad and happily stitching away.

And seeing what today’s energy creates…

I hope your Thursday was full of quiet joy, Beautiful Ones !

Getting Over It

David and I both had food poisoning over the weekend. Someone was watching over us as we somehow had it staggered enough that we could take care of one another. 
Today, I am vertical, still pretty weak, but thankful in a million ways to be feeling better and on the mend. And that my sweet man is too!
Tea staining paper and doodling are about all the art I can do, in between naps and drinking water. Feels good to play a little anyway. Love the pinks and blues from hibiscus tea!
Happy Tuesday, Beautiful Ones! Be well!

Haiku My Heart–Let the Heart Choose

Choices float in minds

IMG_5371

Will this one be right or wrong ?

IMG_5376

Listen to the heart.

IMG_5378

It seems like so many of us are questioning…

thinking,

analyzing,

pondering,

debating,

and often,

worrying

about choices.

All of this is taking place in our minds.

If you are anything like me,

that can be a scary, chaotic place sometimes…

Now the heart…

ah, the heart…

Bringing choice closer to our heart…

Doesn’t that just feel better ?

I know the mind has its purpose and its work to do,

but on this day,

this longest day,

this first day of summer,

I think I will let the heart be in charge !

Morning in the studio and

afternoon at the beach !

IMG_1665

That’s what the beautiful heart of mine wants !

Happy Solstice, Beautiful Ones !

Listen to your sweet heart today.

Share the Joy–Goodies to Share

From this week’s Joy List…

I’m not going to lie.

Last week’s eb immersion workshop was wonderful

but I have been extremely tired and wiped out since I got home.

IMG_5339

Just enough energy to lie about with my furry babies and snuggle…

IMG_5334

and reconnect with this sweet bundle of joy, My Cute Hubby Man.

Finally, after a really good night’s sleep last night,

I am feeling more like myself today!

I had the energy to photograph and list some goodies in the old Etsy shop.

It feels so good to have this growing collection of art bits that I am really proud of and love, and am anxious to share.

And now that I have myself back a bit,

I can get back to creating more !

What joy !

Happy, happy Thursday, Beautiful Ones!
