On Beauty & Fashion

More in the series on Mindfulness...

The prompt was asking us to think about Beauty...

Which got me to thinking about fashion 

& the role it's played in my life. 

The subject of beauty in human beings is complicated.

It's much easier to contemplate beauty in nature & art.

But it's a definite preoccupation. We have our own versions of 

the Greek gods & goddesses...& beauty industries. Wow!

What do you think on this subject?

Grateful

 

The prompt was: 

How are we helpful to other people?

Big topic. I focused on one aspect:

How J and I are "inter-helpful" to one another. 

(or would it be "intra-helpful", it it were even a word?)

I sort of tidied us up here. I think we look older

than in this sketch,

but we often feel younger than we are.

Grateful here.

Good Sunday to you, thanks for stopping by...

Journaling As a Tool for Spiritual Growth

 

I'm participating in a group journal activity 

during May which is "Mental Health Month.

One prompt per day. 

Above, it was about loving oneself.

This was a response to a question about 

what we learned & experienced during the quarantine year.

Journaling in my paper books became more important 

than ever as a way to nurture my mind & spirit.

Thinking about what we are good at. 

Congratulating ourselves. What I like about writing prompts

is that anything that gets sparked is OK. Tangents

can become major themes. It's about discovery,

& in this case, self-discovery. At any age...

Le 1er mai. Un brin de muguet

Happy 1st Day of May!

I've missed you. 

I've been posting in my paper journal lately,

 & experimenting with some new materials, 

mostly pens & journal notebooks & covers. 

(Here: Uni-ball Signo, white ink.)

I will try to come visit you on your blogs. 

For now, I'm not able to post comments,

don't know why...
