Just Do It !

I know the dishes aren't done
but *DANCE AND SING AND SPIN AND MAKE SOME ART ANYWAY*
I know the bills aren't all payed and you don't even know where you will get the money,
but *DANCE AND SING AND SPIN AND MAKE SOME ART ANYWAY*
I know the kids have dissappointed you, and the mistakes you made ten years ago still haunt you
but *DANCE AND SING AND SPIN AND MAKE SOME ART ANYWAY*
I know it is rainy today and you wanted to go on a walk
but *DANCE AND SING AND SPIN AND MAKE SOME ART ANYWAY*
I know you don't have money for the new paints you wanted
but *DANCE AND SING AND SPIN AND MAKE SOME ART ANYWAY*
I know there are a thousand distractions on the internet and it is easier to just web surf for your entertainment
but *DANCE AND SING AND SPIN AND MAKE SOME ART ANYWAY*
if you get up and move
if you get your supplies out
if you get your journal out
and some pretty paper
and some sissors and a glue stick
if you open that tin with charcoals of many colors
and just make something
then get up and stretch and put on some great music
and dance just a bit around the room
All Will Be Well.

love, Em

  1. You are SO inspiring Em!! I have yet to start a journal. I've started a dream book, as in things/places/lifestyle I dream about. I guess that's kind of a journal! I totally forgot to order your journal and papers, and worse than that I never sent you a card for your new home. What's wrong with me! (I've been sick for over 5 weeks now..I guess that's a good reason.) Getting better every day though...yay!
    I have an idea. Why don't I send you a journal and papers and you do the same? We can each do a page in the one we're giving. What a keepsake! Let me know if you like that idea, otherwise I'll still bu one from you.
    I hope you're doing great! Looks like it from here ;)
