How Are You?
Signing into Out of the Blue....
I feel I am * Running to Stand Still. This title of a U2 song intrigued me as I pulled it out of a tray of music CD's (yes, CD's) of many styles of music. At random I select..."It's all random." I give the music a play (repeat track) and found some honesty and comfort there. I have a table full of scribbled notes, but before I write, to relax a moment, I read an online newsletter:
Just What I Need "Write Now!"
** "I will look at the past with appreciation for the lessons I was provided and look to the future with the intent of understanding how these lessons have helped enlighten me," Shirley MacLaine
And so, the writing begins. As with painting, I grow with the flow, dancing and playing with words or paintbrushes brings joy into my heart~ my soul self. I never really know what will write/paint itself, a creative mystery expands.
Enjoy It! Creative expressions of all kinds open doors and windows into the beyond. Creativity brings calming to a runaway mile a minute mind, Head's Pace, the runaway, becomes a calmer Headspace.
Focused...Positive

Patience
Compassion
These Are Your Three Greatest Treasures"
How do you maintain inner harmony?
Think about it?
Write about it, draw or paint, play outdoors, call a friend, help a pet, grow a plant, watch the stars, Tai Chi and Yoga, meditate, take notes, read, and many more ways to reach out gently.
