@taokat @sunflowermom Craft / art projects are amazing self-care! The satisfaction you get out of doing something with your hands and seeing the end result is amazing! 

I should start up something like this again soon - now and then I like to sketch - I find it very easy to be mindful when I'm drawing!

I totally agree @gina-Ro, I love making the mosaic then having something I've made :-) 

Yes, you should get into your sketching! 

 

Today I'm grateful that we're inspiring each other to bring out our creative sides for all the benefits it brings!

Hi @taokat

That's funny that your daughter asked if you are having your mid life crisis!  My daughter likes to tease me too sometimes, and I actually probably secretly like it.

 

Today I am grateful that its Friday!  My favorite day of the week since we will make pizza for dinner tonight and I get to sleep in tomorrow.

She’s a funny one @sunflowermom, and I don’t mind it either. Reminds me I’m a Mum and that’s all I ever wanted to be 😊 

 

I hope you enjoyed your pizza and your sleep-in! Heart

Today as suggested by the "Pope" When giving to a street person. Give total regardless of the out come.

 

Hold their hand look into their eyes and say G'day...

 

It was amazing. Sure took away the stress of home life for a little while,

Have a nice day everyone.
