Got holiday blues?
Cope with creativity!
Draw, paint, write, journal!
Art Prescription: As the year comes to close I come full circle with the intention of the Art Prescription. Creativity is healing. Making art boosts your feel good hormones and makes your immune system stronger. So…while you are making your new years resolution list…add something creative, like keeping a daily journal. Go ahead. Buy something pretty and just start! It will do your spirit good!
Same stars light the sky
For some it’s the last, some first
Christmas past, present.
Art Prescription: Time is marked by events like Christmas Eve. As I gaze out at the big wide open sky, I think. These same stars were shining on my first Christmas Eve, and will shine on past my last. Humbling…Be true to yourself. Live in the present and seek joy everyday. Merry Christmas!
Love lights up the home
Grocery carts groan plenty
Making spirits bright1
Art Prescription: Many thoughts of how plentiful my life is. Sending love out to those who are lonely and less fortunate during the holiday season. May the blue bird of hope fly into your life.
Wind rattles dried leaves
Bare branches click together
Cold rain front moves in.
Art Prescription: A very strange warm weekend for December. A front with rain brings winter back.
With drama the sun
Makes her entry, bold pink swaths
Lullabies the moon.
Art Prescription: Tomorrow is the longest night of the year and shortest day. Early this morning I observed the sun and the moon biding adieu to each other.
Patience is virtue
Time, precious privilege
Lucky to have both!
Art Prescription: Most people don’t have both…actually lucky to have one or the other. In our ramped up society, seems most folks are racing with the clock, hurry-up, hurry-up. Do we waste our days rushing through?
Down on the horse farm
Fresh air and work and horse pets
Body works, mind rests.
Art Prescription: Went out to the farm today to work…farm work…get dirty, use your muscles, wear high boots work!! And I loved it. Reward…grooming a couple of dirty winter coats, and taking in the senses that is a farm!!
Words for everyday
Think them and say them aloud
Kiss, hello, good-bye!
Art Prescription: Research shows mates who kiss each other hello and good-by live longer. Okay, I made that up, but it is all that!!
Town Christmas parade
Marching band and dressed up floats
Smiles, laughter, pure joy.
Art Prescription: Small town goodness.
White snowdrops appear
Out of frozen winter ground
Brave for December.
