Clutter – IF

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I’m not sure with moving, what I dislike more, the packing or the unpacking! Ugh!

I’m using a page out of my sketchbook for this week’s prompt. We moved several years ago and I was surrounded by boxes, bags and furniture awaiting the moving truck and I remembered I sketched the scene to alleviate the stress!

We won’t be moving for nine months, but I’ve been packing a few boxes at a time of books (I have over 1,000) to take to our storage unit, so that when the time comes to move, some of my stress can be warded off.

All that to say, that moving represents clutter to me, no matter how organized it is, it’s still clutter! Moving clutters the mind with too many details and your own personal space with physical clutter. It’s just clutter!

Breathe in, slowly breathe out and let that clutter go. Peace to all.

Wrinkles – IF

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

You ever wake up from a nap, with your ribbons wrinkled and undone? Your hair is a mess and your face wrinkled from sleeping? Your undershirt full of wrinkles and too big? Your neck is sweaty from all the wrinkles around it? Even your ankles have wrinkles, too?

Well, then you know how this little one feels? Just plain wrinkly! I feel just like she does, but oh I’m not so little or as cute!

(This was snatched from a page in my sketch book)

Say yes to the wrinkles in your life!
