Grateful
Grateful was tough for me. Sometimes, if I am feeling the opposite feeling it takes so much longer to get into the right frame of mind. In this case I have to slow down, close my eyes, try to feel the feeling instead of think of the feeling. What I notice now after so many weeks is that my drawings are literal part of the time, and the other part more of an extension of my thoughts.
The drawings go in order, Days 1-5. Click on the first drawing and you can click through them all.
Day 1. I am grateful that I see things as they really are, that I am not the kind of person that is easily swayed or bamboozled.
Day 2: I am grateful for hugs. And that I have learned how to hug myself, to give myself (mostly) what I need.
Day 3: I am grateful to live near a place that gives me peace and serenity. A place where I can think and disconnect from everything except for the plants and birds and sounds of nature.
Day 4: Grateful is the ability to sit and just to be. The act of being and being content in that space.
Day 5: Grateful is listening to your heart, listening to the ideas that swirl around you, and filtering them through your own lens, your heart lens, so that you always stay aligned with who you are.
This is the Draw Your Feelings Project.
Next Feeling: Jealous
Will you join me? This is a year long project, dedicated to connecting to our feelings and ourselves through our art. Send me your drawings, I’d love to see them!
