discovering...day 12


i've never met anyone who adores clouds like i do.
i could literally watch them all day.
when i am in the middle of cloud gazing
i don't think i have much else on my mind.
a simple way to meditate perhaps?
i have lots of cloud photos.
they honestly just make me happy.


highly sensitive people SEE things differently
than 80% of the population.
they have a knack
for seeing what others CAN'T.


they have an overpowering necessity
to create, create, create...


they write, play music....they paint....
they love photography.

i am always thinking "visually".
it's not enough for me to write, but i feel it needs
the image to go with it.
it helps satisfy my need to create...



i am realizing that i have a strong desire
to fill my days with more creativity.
i've always felt guilty about it...
because i believed that being creative
was just meant to be a hobby...
saved for spare time.
HSP need to do what brings them joy.
everyday.
it's just how we're wired.
i suppose that's why the world is full of
"starving artists".
they're just listening to their hearts.
i'll bet they're happy.
xox
back tomorrow...with another fun tidbit of information...
i cry often.

discovering...day 10 & 11



that was a very long 4 day weekend.
knowing what you know about me now,
imagine this....
husband home with a toothache for THREE days.
(including thanksgiving dinner)
he was in PAIN.
(he is not good with pain)


oldest daughter has a "boy" now and she was hardly home.
lots to think about there...
think, think, think..........


12 came to thanksgiving dinner.
it was a busy house.
everything was delicious.
i was only 1/2 hour behind schedule
and i am pretty darn happy with that.
the turkey was glazed with cranberries and maple syrup.
it smelled amazing in this busy house.
busy, busy, busy.
(hsp get frustrated when they have to do a lot
in a short period of time)
(they try hard not to make mistakes)
elsie was so sweet and AWARE.
she played my Josh Groban cds.
(his voice does something to me)


so...this is all i've got for 10 & 11.
what was i thinking?...31 days?
i'll do my best though...
give me another day to recover.
(i'm smiling...it was a lovely weekend)
just LOOK at that sunset!



i love my hot tub.
i love it in the morning.
i love it in the afternoon.
i love it in the evening.


i also love the flowers that emma's boy gave her today...
i'm borrowing them.
