Ahh life, how you turn me this way and that just to get me back to a happy place.
Twists and turns come into life, some confuse, some cause you to be lost yet lead you back in their own way, and others take you where you need to go directly. Gotta remember that as you proceed so that you don't get muddled on the way, or distraught by the thought of what it might be taking you away from. At least that's what I learned this week.
I have taken to using a little creativity with my facebook statuses. I randomly did one that was all s words because I was heading to sleep and it seemed a little fun. When I woke up and when I was getting ready for work I did one that was A words, and after thought I decided to go through the alphabet with it. Today was D, so I have 22 days to go, to get through this. I already know that there will be some that are harder than others, but it should be fun to try. It tests my vocabulary, and tests my ability to make sense of madness, and really isn't that what it's all about?
My facebook is linked up on here if you want to see them, no promises they are gold, but there is a poetry to it.
I have found that I am more and more inspired by art that displays in front of me, both movie and picture. A lot of the time I sit and experience it and feel a wave of creativity wash over me, and at first I wish I could create something as visually appealing or stunning, but then my "wheelhouse" of creativity kicks in. Movies are more obvious as they have writing that can inspire as the visuals do as well, but photography, paintings, and statuary take a more studied approach. If I take the time to get past the initial visual appeal I can see a story inside, now maybe it's not the story intended but it's a story I see, and that is really what is supposed to happen, a reaction, a story. Basically, I like this.
Lent is upon us and as a Catholic I am told to give something up, do good, things of this nature, and even though I am not the most practicing of Catholics I do like aspects of the faith enough to like the feeling behind it all. So I have decided that I will forgo purchasing random items this 40 days. I will buy books, music and movies randomly here and there, so I will pass up on this for 40 days. At the same time I didn't feel like that was enough so I am going to go ahead and give 200 dollars to organizations that I feel deserving. I figure I would have spent about that during the time period so I figured that is a good trade off.
Maybe I will finally join the ASPCA like I have always told myself I would...and look into others as well.
I hope that creativity will stick with me, that I will form it correctly, and that the path stays clear, even during the moments of fog.

Maybe I can convince my mom to call and make an appointment for me to try on more gowns.
