I'm a typical moody artist and as a result, I struggle with "happiness." The concept seems simple...but I think everyone can relate to it...it's not always easy being happy.
Recently, I discovered the philosophy of "choosing happiness." I saw "Choose Happiness" on a piece of art hanging in an artist's studio (go figure...another artist needing to remind herself). So, I've adopted this as my new mantra and one that I am constantly reciting to myself...."I chose happy." Reminding myself to be grateful for everything I have and encourage positive thoughts...doing my best to overcome those "Debbie Downer" moments.
Also, I'm celebrating (what I think is) a significant birthday in a couple of days, making this new motto more and more useful. This most recent collage is about basking in the glory that is happiness and shedding the layers of "gunk" that weigh us down...like a good salt scrub in a hot shower...you gotta just let it go....schlep it off and bask in the illuminating glory of happy.
