There are probably a million things I could do less, or cut back on…..
But, it’s Sunday, I want to chill a bit. If I were to list all the things I could, would, should, maybe, possibly, do less of…🤔🙇♀️ it would take several Sundays to list them. Give me a break!!! 🤷♀️🤪
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
Hmm…quite a few, I think!
It’s actually been quite a distressing and lonely year. But, despite that, I feel I have accomplished a lot.
A massive, but positive event for me this year…was completing 10 months of EMDR therapy for C-PTSD. This was undoubtedly, one of the hardest, but necessary challenges for me….well, for a long time, anyway!
I joined the world of WP blogging. I believe I’ve made some wonderful friends and have built some positive connections. I have learned a lot and I hope I will continue to learn from my fellow artists, writers, poets …
To be featured in “FEATURES by VALENCIARTIST” on WP, of which I’m truly grateful.
I quit smoking!
I picked up my paint brush again.
I have completed two paintings, and I’m currently working on my third and fourth.
I continue to write the final chapter of my memoir.
For those who know 😉…shenanigans & 💃💃💃 will be escalated in 2025! 😂😂
Do you have a favourite place you have visited? Where is it?
I have visited several countries over the past twenty years or so. One of my favourite places I have visited, has to be Vietnam. I spent a wonderful two weeks in Da Nang. The culture, scenery, food, and especially the people…they were so friendly and welcoming.
What is one thing you would change about yourself?
What is one thing that I would like to change about myself?
There ‘maybe’? many things I would ‘possibly’? want to change about myself.
But, change to what?
I’m not perfect by any means, I have my faults, imperfections….blah blah blah.
Who’s to judge anyway? You? Me? Anyone?
Alright, (make sure you spell it correctly, not Allwright) there are times… Well, most of the time, I wish I had more self confidence, less ‘self doubt’!
But that’s not a change, that is growth, development, reflection, self affirmation, self worth. These are attributes that grow, not an overnight change.
So, no…there isn’t one thing I would like to change about myself. In fact, I quite like my quirky, bonkers, imperfect self. I Need work, but hey ho!
Happy Tuesday, to my imperfect, bonkers, friends. ❤️
The answer to this question is dependent on what is happening in my life at any particular time. I’ve had a number of jobs in the past where I have had to rise from my bed at 3am. I have worked split shifts on a rolling ten day pattern, to a 9am-5pm working day. Thankfully, no more.
But now: 🦉
I often paint and write in the evenings/early hours of the morning. My creative mind comes alive when the outside world is silent, dark, it somehow feels safer. Safer in the knowledge that the majority of people are asleep. 👩🏻🎨
