good morning campers.....so it's been a bit more than 2 weeks since the last post.....just lazy here.....so about this art journey of mine.......well you've heard of the israelites and their 40 years wandering round the desert..........ok so i'm on a 40 year desert art journey..........sometimes desert is what my mind is..........people say, actually i even just said to my youngest...."enjoy the journey, look around, be present where you are in life on you way to your 'goal' ".........well...........it seems that my family always put a high priority on "being productive" ...everyday........it's not that i can't lay around and watch tv, read a book, etc......oh know, that's no problem....it's the being beat up by my guilt of not being productive that gets me..........i even told the same youngest daughter....."it's ok to not do anything sometimes".....and yet, here i am....jokes on me......ha ha
so how do we enjoy the journey, take in the scenery, smell the roses, paint the llamas?.......is there a method to the madness?......is there a tried and true....i had put time and true and was like, that does not sound right..........method to slowing our roll?.........so i thought, lets test some theories........so where do i get my theories???....of course the internet where everything is true....right??!!....so you type in how to enjoy the journey, and up pops a plethora, by the way, the plethora is an extinct, maybe?, dinosaur of the writing and deducing species, it's small with wings that extend 1 inch, usually purple with blue spots, doesn't fly very well......of options .....option 1- lifehack , live in the present- do i get a present for living in the present?, sweet,.... enrich my life- if only my art would sell i could en-rich my life!.....be positive- i'm positively adding this to my list of things to do today....unplug- i do that all the time, which is why i disappear for awhile from the internet....relax, dont do it , when you wanna go do it......singing there, and so appropriate......ok option 2- inc well #2- is easy cause i believe some people want me commited.....#4- i'm doing, it's the retention part that's hard for me, i learn, i forget, repeat.......#5- is tricky cause that's my life....there was this book called men are waffles and women are spaghetti....meaning women are multi taskers, always doing 5 things at one time.........for option 3, i had to type in christian ways to enjoy the journey.....option 3-joyce meyer , #1 is no problem, i enjoy my art, my music, the beach, family, God, etc, ......#2 is no problem, i'm already doing stuff i like to do and my part time job allows me to enjoy stuff too....#3-schedule time, i'm all about schedules and calendars, not that i keep up with that, but, anyway.......#4- a smell the roses thing or in my case like playing fetch with crabs on the beach...#5- i have amped that up, me and God have some groovy times........ so even though i just picked 3 random blog sites ....what i got from them is "enjoy"...which is ironic cause that's what you type into the search bar to begin with but i didn't even get it......so much for being present....can you say obvious???......."obvious!!!"....so....enjoy where you are at this moment in time..... enjoy who you are with crosby, stills, and nash "love the one you're with"....well maybe that's something else...........enjoy what life gives you.....enjoy what life takes away- the loss might be hard, but the time that you had with whatever got taken away.......enjoy sitting at the computer and writing a blog that might bring a smile to someone.........enjoy a smile....ha ha i wrote smikle.......definitely enjoy a laugh.....especially at yourself....and i guess 40 years or more, of wandering around enjoying life, makes for a pretty good life....the plethora definitely agrees.....be groovy!
