Back to Me

Today I took a journey back to me. Back to a part of me I left behind a long time ago. An extremely integral part of who I was the whole time I was growing up. I journeyed back to the only part of me I loved during those years …. my drawing. Art was the only thing I felt I was good at during my entire childhood …. even into adulthood. But … somehow, it got lost along the way — or I let it go — I don’t know which. But it has been weighing heavy on my heart for a while now, so I asked my husband for art supplies for Christmas. I have always loved drawing so, but today I was very nervous as I picked up that pencil. My hands were sweaty and a bit shaky; but before I knew it, it was as if I had never stopped! And ohhhh it felt good!

When I showed my son, David, the picture, at first he was surprised that I had drawn it; then he said, “I didn’t know you could still do that”. lol Truth be told, neither did I! But I can … and I did. ) I’d love to show it to you. If you’d like to see it, click here (will open in new window).

Thanks for listening to my excitement, and sharing in it! )
