Just drink tea
Here in "sunny California" the fog is sitting on the ground. The mountain behind my house has disappeared and most of the neighborhood went with it. What a great day to blog! After not blogging, not journaling, not drawing for an entire week, I'm back. I'm recommitting to daily everything because it keeps me sane and keeps me learning.
This week I tried to introduce visual journaling to girls at Juvenile Hall. My belief is that feelings and beliefs and events that are set out in front of us are both diluted and enhanced. They are diluted in the sense that they become less frightening; they are enhanced in that they become more understood. The girls were not impressed -- that was the impetus to the squirrel collage I posted yesterday. It was a quick demonstration of one journal method -- to respond to a visual image. Yesterday, for myself, I collaged a simple belief that I hold -- Tea is the antidote to most things negative! And then I decided I better DRAW something because I missed an entire week. This serves the Everyday Matters challenge #139 - "Draw something with a handle."
Like your drawing and your collage! It sounds like you had a delightful day.
