Do That

I’m finally doing this more. I try to make sure that I have a bit of time for myself each day, where I ignore all the ‘shoulds’ and just do something that makes me smile – or at least, calm down – in that life is sometimes a challenge, isn’t it.

I have a mental list of what makes me smile – (in random order, as I think of them) –

• Playing in my art room – trying a new technique – playing with color and texture
• Listening to music
• Reading
• Being outside, working in the yard
• Watching a favorite movie
• Spending time with a good friend
• Shutting my eyes and dreaming
• Talking with our son
• Spending quality time with my husband
• Finding creative people on the Internet
• Writing my blog

My goal is to spend more and more time smiling. What makes YOUR soul happy?
