Comfort in knowing I have everything I need

This morning I woke up with a very heavy list in my head already before I even came to the kitchen table.  Coffee and my morning pages were there as every morning and I have this morning thing where I now pick a rock along with my affirmation puzzle pieces...I have been writing back and forth to a dear artist friend who doesn't live all that far away but we've been friends along time and she sent me this wonderful saying so I have that this morning to look at next to my bird candles and my rock I picked...which says..."You have everything you need."   how comforting to pick that one this morning..cause in my morning pages I've been feeling like I want to be more content with the way things are.....

I have nothing to show of my big piece  for the MCS show...the pressure to finish it fast is causing a bit of creative block...so I'm easy back on it a bit and really seeking some inspiration all round me...I have the images and colors I want but the inner parts that I really want to express have made their way to the surface so being at this sensitive state with it I'm backing off on showing some pictures..and I have to be kinder to myself as if it doesn't get finish in time...so be it I have plenty that can fit into this show/exhibit for the Downers Grove Library..

Had a talk with my art buddy and cousin Doris few days ago and something stuck with me...She said I'm not doing what I want to be doing or it might have been... I'm not working in what I want to be working on... that stuck with me  and keeps coming up....you see I stray from this way to that like a ball on a string and I to am not working in what I want to be working in....I had a series started and with the workshop and preparing for them which I'm most grateful to be doing...I go a stray and my studio is a wholly mess and I scramble to make sense of it all and the words keep coming back...and now I switch them around and ask..."What is is that I want to be working on and in?....next question is am I?  why not?  and what do I need to do to be proactive to make that happen?   Oh alot of inspiration has come from that talk and the words I hear...Doris thanks for sharing...I keep sending up good thoughts for you too. 

I think I'll fit in a little morning walk in the woods before the rains come...Green is great! so is Brown but now I've had my share of it and I feel Green is Great!!
