Monday 11th February 2008

Well to get all those things into one day to get a balance was not easy, but the only think I have missed out is painting. I sort of cheated with the singing and dancing though and drew stick men doing those activities. lol

Sunday 10th February 2008

Not a new poem or a new photograph but when I saw the quotation for today I immediately thought of the poem I wrote back in July 2004 and as I was reading again these lines I knew what photo I wanted to use. This beautiful modern stained glass window is in The Cathedral of the Forest, aka All Saints Church Newlands in the new forest.

A bit of colour in today's journal entry. The material I picked up at the sale this Thursday and knew immediately that I wanted to use it as a backdrop drape for a photograph, just didn't at that time know what I would be using it on. Today being so tired and not wanting to go out but really wanting a new photo for beauty I thought of this drape and the black & greeny white arrangement I have in the hallway against the front door.

Shades of Red

This layout has been inspired by today's prompt. It has taken me well out of my comfort zone even though it is a digital one.

January's Journaling prompt

I want you to really take some time this week, looking over the prompts from this month and your journalling. Find a quiet moment to sit and write how you have grown as a person this last month. ........................

I have been reading again through this month's entries in my blog and realise that it has all brought out the sad lonely side of me, a side that I think I have tried so hard to bury, because sadness only begets more loneliness. I feel that I am a painted clown, you know the big smile that hides a sad, sad man. I hide behind my creativeness, my wordiness, and in a way that becomes my friend, my companion. I am not sure whether this is helping me to grow, or just indulging my moroseness. I have always had a tendency to analyse my feeling and my thoughts too much.

Today, I have not used the prompt, I couldn't it did not tie in with my day at all, but I have used, what spoke to me this morning. Words that I needed to hear, words that I hope will enable me to find my equilibrium again. I don't expect most of you to understand, I am not even going to mention today's journaling to anyone, but if you do see it and it strikes a cord with you then please leave me a comment. I need to put it here, to make it real, to make it affect my life. It is where I am today.

Another one in which I seem to be looking inwards, and yet there is hope, there is expectancy of easier times to come.

Alone

Here is the layout I have done using day 18 photo and journaling, a rather sad one but it does reflect how I feel sometimes, but not all the time. This, at the moment, is a pure digital page, but I am going to print off the elements separately and make it up with real ribbon and purl teardrop beads.

Thursday 24th January 2008

I didn't find it easy to journal today, I am so tired that I felt like giving it all up and just not doing any more, but realised that was being very defeatest. So I made myself find a silver lining, the only one of my list from the 1st Jan that I have mantain all month. I have listed here some of the things I know that I can be grateful for even though at the moment I don't feel right about any of it.
