Clearing the mind Connecting with nature Create

[Starrlight]

I’m starting a new project. I’m taking nature photos and sketching them to arrange as a mini gallery. I’m hoping I can keep motivated and that it will give some joy and peace.

yiou took that photo? That's awesome that you have a project that will give you Peace. Proud of you for taking the initiative to deal with your anxeity. I need to follow your example. Thanks

I just got up the motivation to do a sketch tonight. I thank God I was able to because I haven’t had much motivation lately.

Is there any hobby you have enjoyed that you’d like to do more of or something new?

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Starrlight]

I do, I love arts n crafts, sewing. Haven't done it in a couple of years. I use to be passionate about those things. Sorry I can't do it as much I'd loved to?

But Not having a good day, I keep over things I'm gonna have to do. Telling myself it's going to be OK. But the anxeity in Me is not letting me go there? I had a GOOD evening last night,. I felt Peace that I hadn't felt in a long time, don't know how that came about? I just enjoyed it. Today is different. Keep doing what your doing.

[Starrlight in reply to Want2BHappy3]

I’m glad you enjoyed peace and I hope it visits you and me both more often.

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Starrlight]

Thanks, I'm feeling like I don't CARE about anything, so EXHAUSTED from feeling this way. Eating has been difficult, I've only had a piece of string cheese. I'm not living life, I'm just in bed ALL the time. Don't know what to do???

[Starrlight in reply to Want2BHappy3]

Maybe try doing one small thing you think you need to do and add onto it when you are ready.

Great idea. I just returned to piano lessons. I took years ago and played just for my own enjoyment. It was so good for my head and soul. I'm not very good at it but it makes me happy.

[Starrlight in reply to Choosejoy]

Choosejoy I’m happy for you! Do you get lost in the music? I used to get lost in my paintings.

[Choosejoy in reply to Starrlight]

I could practice for hours. It was so relaxing. It was a crestive outlet. Gave me a sense of accomplishment. I am looking forward to getting back to it.

[Starrlight in reply to Choosejoy]

It’s great you have such good memories of your music. Best to you getting back to it. I am really restless and it’s hard to let myself have that time to create but I am determined.

Sounds like a great idea. I should do these too.

If these hydrangeas make anyone feel better. Grew these on my own and currently in my garden. Pics taken last year in June

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pics Heruga. Did you grow them as plants or from seed?

[Heruga in reply to Starrlight]

Thanks. No not these ones.. I purchased them as a small plant and just planted it myself. Am going to propagate some from cuttings this year though.
