Welcome to the Year of the Ox
Welcome to the Year of the Ox
A time for new beginnings, steady progress and long-lasting relationships.
I can use all of the above. I'm sure you can too. It's time for us to take the leap out of our own restrictions and try a new outlook, a new style, a new modus operandi.
I am still committed to embracing joyful magic.
I will crawl out of the dark tunnel of winter and find warmth and light wherever I can. And if I can't find it, I will make it. If I take two steps back, I will take one leap forward. If my heart is troubled, I will force my lips to smile.
I will do laughter yoga.
I will refill my glass. No more half-full half-empty crap. My glass will be full.
I will take those lemons and chuck them at those who try to give them to me.
I will smooth out the wrinkles and wear my heart on my sleeve.
And if someone doesn't like what I do. They can stuff it. I don't care. They can take their little jokes at my expense, their little put-downs, their judgment, and stuff their pillows with it. See how comfortable it is to sleep on that.
I like me.
May our lows become highs. Our fears, courage. Our nights filled with light. Our arms filled with love. :)

You go girl! Love your list!! :)
Yeah, STUFF IT! Go forth & conquer - I know the universe is on your side.
I'm certainly glad to be out of the rat year... I actually felt this new year coming in like a change of skin... how weird is that?
And I so agree with:
I will refill my glass. No more half-full half-empty crap. My glass will be full.
The re-filling glass of plenty!
Happy New Ox Year!
ROCK!!
F*** those lemons and the horse they rode in on! (Can lemons sit in a saddle??)
Loving the textural background on your latest painting! Such rich colors...
Wishing you much laughter, a brimming cup and all the heArt you can handle!
Much Joy, Many Blissings~*

"And if someone doesn't like what I do. They can stuff it. I don't care. They can take their little jokes at my expense, their little put-downs, their judgment, and stuff their pillows with it. See how comfortable it is to sleep on that."
I always try to remember that "people are gonna to say what they say." What I mean by that is, if they are the type of people to say negative and hurtful things, they are going to find something negative and hurtful to say, regardless of what I end up doing. So I may as well do whatever I want and just ignore them. Instead I spend my time finding and listening to people who fill their glasses, and fill everyone else's too ;)
You go girl. Live your life free of other peoples hang ups. I always have hated that lemon saying - I like your idea better - chuck them back.
We all like you too.
Last year was my year. This year is Hubby's year. Love your list! makes me want to dance! =] TammyV

SO true Caroline! It is a change of skin and I am glad to be rid of the old one. This one is roomier and more sturdy. :)
Thanks Molly! :) This is another level of experimentation for me. Drawing a figure that blends with the background.
