not because she was sad,
but because the world was so beautiful
and life was so short"

I have been feeling really dreary lately.
The rain, the time change....
It has all weighed heavy on my heart.
I miss the sunshine on my face
The smile of the clouds as they pass by.
I miss being outside and soaking in this wonderful life.
I have spent many days curled up in bed
The blankets my cocoon,
holding in the tears that want to fall
like the rain falling outside.
I listen to the song the rain sings
Hoping it will soothe my sadness
I flip through old photographs of wonderful times
I cherish the memory of these moments,
but my heart is
yearning
for the sunshine.
Tomorrow is a new day,
and the beautiful sun should shine brightly
Hopefully this will light up my heart.
Creativity

my art supplies sprawled out in my magical cottage
Creativity has surrounded me.
It is oozing from my pours
Spilling out from my heart
And singing a song inside my head.
I feel connected
I feel centered
I feel like I am headed down the right path
I feel comfortable with myself
For a long time I was not comfortable with me
I was in the shadows
Hiding behind closed doors
Concealing my heart
But now I am colorful
Full of light
Feeling the world around me
And taking it all in
The things that surround me amaze me
Make me smile
Make me feel whole
They ignite a fire inside me, that won't go out
I adore this life,
I adore this little magical cottage I call my studio apartment
I adore my art supplies,
my camera, and my photos.
I adore the connection I get with others through these things.
I am savoring life!

Taking it all in
/
Top of the Lemon Sqweeze, New Paltz NY
The sound of the leaves fluttering in the breeze
The radiant colors beaming from the trees
The stillness
The quiet
Soaking it all in
Hearing my footsteps along the path,
carrying me through the woods.
Holding me safely
Embracing my heart
Nature brings me back
Grounds me
Helps my soul de-clutter
It brings a smile to my face
Eases my fears
And makes me feel a little more comfortable with myself.
