So I know that many may not want the white, cold, fluffy stuff but I could not be any happier. I know, most people may think I’m a loon, but I love snow. Spring is just around the corner and, while I can’t wait for that great moment when green is back around, I wouldn’t mind just a bit more winter wonderland. This weekend, as I spent it visiting family, I was reminded just how much fun sitting around drinking hot cocoa and looking out into the frozen world was really about.
In other news, busy seems to be the ‘mot du jour’ as I continue to freelance in marketing and communication projects with great success.
I have been ridding myself of many of my attachments and am proud to say my dehoarding efforts are way on target with a plethora of shredded useless docs recycled, junk thrown away, and boxes full of Good Will objects ready for new families to put to use.
I have been painting some and nurturing my artistic side and can honestly say it is a welcome distraction and immersion into something bigger than me. It is a freeing experience that has given me the opportunity to pull away from those things that hinder and bring down into something great and full of wonder…I hope to share some more of this with you all...we shall see.
Recently, I read the Letter to Artists by Pope John Paul II and his words from 1999 still stand true as he so beautifully spoke about the importance of the nurture of our artistic side since
"through art, one finds beauty in our humanity."
I have also been volunteering some more and just spent sometime helping at a soup kitchen. It was such a blast and can't wait for the next one. It reminded me of my Retreat days when I was in college.
Well friends, this has been a treat...until next time...g'Day. :)
