Hmmmmm....

I just have to start with this ~ I took this photo,
and while it is a little out of focus,
I just LOVE it - and it is straight off my iPhone -
no instagram or any other app -
that is the colour of the sky the day I took it!


I've been in a bit of a blog fog lately...which is why I've probably relied so much on photos in my last few posts.

There is so much going on in my head and so much I want to write about that I'm not sure where to start, and how to make sense of it all....

Then I remembered Van Gogh's words:

"If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint"...
then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced"

Wise words.

So - here I am! Maybe I'll start with some photos that I've taken recently... I'm using photography as my creative outlet at the moment ( we've all gotta have one, right???) - Plus these images just make me smile - even if they're not techinically perfect! 








As I've mentioned several times before here , here and here ...music impacts my life in a big way. Here's what's been helping me lately. We sing this at Church and I just love it.


Sometimes I feel like I need more of a guiding hand - then I realise that it's there, I'm just not using it! I get too side-tracked sweating the small stuff...

I'm trying very hard to pull myself out of the funk that I'm in at the moment - but sometimes the magnitude of things overwhelms me and I succumb to old ways.... silly, I know.... but in the words of good old Neil Diamond

"...everyone's got rainy days
it isn't so much if, but when"

The sun has been shinig beautifully today and spring is definitely on it's way - the flowers are blooming, the weather is warming up and the kids are loving playing outside again ! So I've focused on that today!



Talk again soon - I'm writing about "Truths" too at the moment - it's pretty confronting - and I think that's where my "block" is....

Love

A little Van Gogh Inspiration again

 

       " There may be a time in life when one is tired of everything, and feels
as if all one does is wrong, and there may be some truth in it -
do you think this is a feeling one must try to forget and banish,
or is it "the longing for God", which one must not fear,
but cherish to see if it may bring us some good?
Is it "the longing for God" which leads us to make a choice which
we never regret?
Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle."
