Embracing New Beginnings

Creativity is Fun

I’m embracing new beginnings in 2022 whether I want to or not.

My body is the same; my brain is not. When dealing with fatigue, which is now a part of my life, I find a quiet space in my home where I can be still. I can meditate. Relax. And now, adding to my recent interests,  paint 🎨 with watercolors. It’s something I find quite enjoyable. I love watching artists share their experiences and creativity with watercolors and it inspires me in my own creative pursuits. 

After spending well over $60 on greeting cards, I’ve decided that I will create my own greeting cards for my family and friends this year. Why not! This is my new therapy. It’s very therapeutic and fun.

I’m blessed that the right side of my brain, the creative side, still has the ability to be creative and allows me to paint. I’m looking forward to my creations.

I wonder how many of you have given up on your creativity because of suffering from a stroke or other physical ailments/ trauma. From experience, I can understand that many people would withdraw from their hobbies and things they love. I can emphasize. But, I must encourage you to keep pursuing your hobbies and interests.

Though my left side was affected by the stroke, I purposely use both sides to be actively engaged as much as I can throughout my day. Try something new this year that brings you more love, joy and peace.

What does life look like for you? What has caused your “new beginnings “? I sincerely want to know your story.

Smile often, and give yourself a break ❤️
