Journaling with Aqua, Yellow, and a POP of Pink!

Participating in Kristin's

 4th year of Summer of Color,

SOC4! 

(You can join in using the badge on the top!)

This first challenge

is to create anything using

the two colors: aqua and yellow,

with a POP of hot pink!

Birds keep finding me

so I am going with it.

{I used Caran d' Ache

Neoart Aquarelle water-soluable wax Pastels

and some water on a paintbrush...

then an aqua fine point Sharpie pen for the writing.}

♥

Thank you, Kristin!

Pastel Play :: journaling

Easing back in...

Attempting to not have every moment filled...

I saw the very first snowflakes of the season

yesterday

as I drove home from work at dusk.

And then the sun shone...

I love pastels.

Thank you for waiting for me.

Beauty :: Journaling

I've been finding lately,

 that I do not seem to be writing 

and journaling as much as I used to.

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago, 

I told you that a close friend passed away?

Well, just a few days ago, I stumbled

 upon an old writing journal of mine...

...and in it was a four-page entry I had written

 about the day I met her. 

She was the mom of an old friend of mine.

 I was so struck by her. 

She was a second mom to me. 

But, I was surprised, as I read these words I'd written years ago,

by how much I had forgotten.

The details.

 My memory isn't as wonderful as I'd like,

but thank goodness I wrote...

and that I continue to write.

Everything happens for a reason.

I believe this.

I was meant to stumble upon these old four pages...

perhaps a message for Mother's day...

and as a reminder to me

to keep on writing.

Words.

Beauty.

memories.

Cherish.

Love.

Words.

Beauty.

Art.

Create.

Record.

Remember.

Feel.
