Recovery day with a little self-care. Pain patches, hot coffee and checking out my birds this morning and the woodpeckers were being jerks today! But then I got a visit from the sweet and calm yellow bird.
Spent the day doing my Sweet Trash Journaling, making sure all my class notes are in. And reading, reading, reading. Tomorrow I will spend some time actually doing some work in my journal, like painting!
I have been prepping for my bi-annual MARS retreat, "Mountain Artists Retreat and Sleepover", we spend 2 nights and 3 days together where we all art it up and enjoy each others company! This time, we have so few ladies, we are going to be in a local Hotel and have access to the pool! So I am bringing my swim suit! Relaxing. Drinking some wine, and painting! We meet up at Noon on Friday and don't go home until Sunday afternoon. I am SO looking forward to this! I am just going to pain in my journal and do some embroidery if my hands behave.
There is nothing better than art friends to lift your spirits, provoke you to be more creative, and laugh. I need to do some reflection on my grief, and see if I can get it to pour out of me this weekend, and really address it rather than deny it. I have really been afraid of "going there", like I won't be able to stop the flood once it starts.
I have been sketching out some new Mind Maps...as a pre-plan for all my goals...and how to get through all I want to get through this year with my art and my health. So I may focus more on that during the weekend if I have time. All I know is I need a big reset!
I'm blogging along with Effy Wild in April. If you'd like to join the Facebook group to read the rules, go here!
I hope your retreat brings you everything you hope for.
