Summer loving–drawing outdoors

Exercise your way to happiness. Exercise gets the brain to release the good stuff – endorphins – to make us feel better. And with summer just around the corner, there is no excuse.

Last week when I was drawing outdoors, I felt the urge to draw a bicycle, and then roller blades. It must be the warmer weather… I am going to be dusting off those cobwebs building up on my roller blades and bicycle, and putting them to use – perhaps to get to my next outdoor drawing session with friends this weekend.

What are you doing this weekend?

What are you grateful for today?

Happy Hour

I attended a talk a few months ago on happiness. One of the exercises was to keep a gratitude diary, in which we record something that we are thankful for each day. It need not be big; for example, it could be a flower that we see or a smile from a neighbour.

I kept a diary going for a while. Each day, I drew something in my diary and I think it helped me keep things in perspective...

Grateful for a new beginning...

Today, after 4.5 years blogging, I have moved on to a new blog, and a new website, which I am excited about. I am grateful to be able to start all over again... so it's a reason to celebrate.

If you are here reading this, you have found my new site - be sure to leave a message so that I know you came.

What about you?  What are you grateful for today?
