small, picturesque but alive town, the sea, tides, cliffs, an old abbey ruin on the hill opposite me, meadows and gales and gardens and donkeys and birds, the sea, the sea, the sea…................ How dearly I love her… a beautiful, spacious house, a beautiful, spacious landscape. And a library, and an art room, and a chapel, a castle tower that provides the most stunning view of all this beauty. A warm, spacious room, a rhythm of prayer and work and leisure, company, good food and plenty cups of tea…abundance…wherever I look, abundance. 2 months ago
that have been taken. relief. happiness to be moving on. happiness of knowing what I want. clarity. gratitude. a leap of faith. 4 months ago
I have finally come back to my love of theatre. It took me 7 years? I wanted to do a course in theatre studies and couldn’t. And have forgot about the fascination somehow since then. But this summer, this year, seems to be the real waking up. Art, me taking part in 2 exhibitions (to actually see my artworks on the wall, with a label underneath them…what a glorious moment it will be ;D…), and I am going to the theatre pretty much every week. And I need it. I feel I need it now. I got it. Finally. 5 months ago
I did find satisfaction recently, without even trying… Tracey Emin exhibition. I’ve mentioned it here before (on other goals). It’s been an incredible experience. The impact absolutely blew me over. The intensity. The density. So much that spoke too me, powerfully, of who I am, who I can be, and the intake of satisfaction...a big meal, a stomach full of good things, many untried tastes, like diving into the midst of a foreign culture, diving headlong into the ocean for the first time. this is my happiness. and it is fierce, and passionate, and fulfilling to the brim. The other happiness. The width and depth and breadth and height of knowing what I want. Seeing it right before me. The uncompromising juice of life. The freedom to take it all in and create with it all and leave nothing behind. No shame. No shame. I open my body to you. I bare my soul to you. I am human, as are you. Look. This is what it means. 5 months ago
all the good things I did :). theatre, dancing, watercolours, drawing. and cloudwatching with a lovely friend in the park, wine and conversation. hmmm. the good life. 6 months ago
seems a little low these last few days. and my guess is, I need to be a bit more creative. paint, or collage or do something to do with art. I didn’t go dancing either last week, and it would have been good to go. So, no excuses this week!!!
I want to be happy again. 6 months ago

I am generally happier this week/the last few days than I’ve been in a while, I am aware of the fact that I’m happy…what has come over me :P…? Blessed with gladness in my heart. God with me.
I am praying that I will be glad too on my solo holiday next week. I am sure it is possible, with a little help of my friend… God give me style and give me grace :)... 7 months ago
I was happy today when I heard the neighbours kids play in their little pool outside. They sounded honestly happy. Not arguing or teasing or squabbling, just happy splashing around :). 7 months ago
