a couple of pages from my journal

I should probably share my journals with you more often.  (note to self!)  I was just flipping through my photos files on the laptop, and I have loads and loads of shots from my journals.  I believe that journaling is a great form of self-expression and therapy.  I heard recently, and can't remember the source (sorry!)

EXPRESSION - NOT DEPRESSION!

and I totally agree.  So, I use my journals as sketchbooks, diaries, scrapbooks, a place to vent, paint, play, ask myself questions, work out ideas, whatever!

The painting of the tulips I actually did a year ago.  Some friends brought me a small gift of a bud vase with multi-colored tulips.  So pretty!  I love tulips. I think I may have mentioned that before.  So I spent part of an afternoon recording them in my journal with ink and watercolor.  Relaxing!

And, I found this little bit of a drawing that I did thanking the sun for coming out.  It is a rainy day (again) today.  Our spring sunshine has been playing a teasing game with us this year.  The days that the sun is actually out are so beautiful! And I always feel so much better when the sun is shining! Please come back soon!
