Well, things are kind of tough right now. Not in a bad way though but more of just having to do with change tough. My husband is away and will be away for months because he is in the Army. In the past, it was I that was gone while serving in the Navy and my husband was the one to stay at home with our two children. Now the tables have turned....
I'll be honest, I am feeling a bit more anxious lately and I am just waiting and counting the days until he returns. I was sitting in the kitchen earlier today and was just staring at the kitchen table thinking about our new life, thinking about what my husband is doing right now and if he is okay. Waiting for a phone call....a call that has not happened yet. I don't usually do well with change. Change always aggravates my anxiety further and causes unnecessary stress. Even if the change is good I will still experience an uneasiness about it and worry. while I was thinking all this, I noticed an empty paper plate on the table. I grabbed my colorful pens and started doodling on the empty white plate. And you know what? I started to feel better. I wasn't feeling sad anymore. Interestingly, I wasn't even thinking about what I was drawing....I was just doodling without thinking about it. the process made me so much more relaxed and although this may not be a masterpiece, I feel so much better now. The simple act of engaging in an artistic project really quiets the mind and connects you to your Higher Self/Divinity/The Higher Power!!!!

It's great that you can use your creativity to feel better. When someone I love is far away I think of my heart and this person's heart and how we are connected. Then I can send lots of loving energy to that person too. It always makes me feel good and as if I am supporting him/her at the same time. I hope I didn't go too woo woo on you ; ). Big hugs, Karina

Hi Rosalina! Yes, change is always unsettling and will increase your anxiety level but I'm happy to hear you are using your creative talents to help you calm yourself and adjust to this change. Keep thinking of it as temporary and a means to a much better life for you, Keith, Kalina and Kesean. I'm so proud of you, I know the last year and a half have been tough but you will come out of this period with patience, tolerance and wisdom. With much aloha, Mrs. White.
