I Like

 

Thank you LeeAnna for keeping this lovely group going!

do you have a favorite musical style?  For fun:  what kind of music
calms you, makes you want to dance, or stimulates you creatively?

I like a lot of different music.  The soundtrack from the first Guardians of the Galaxy is one of my favourites.  Mostly I like upbeat joyful sort of music.  Katrina and the Waves' song Walking on Sunshine always gets me moving.  Mozart can help me get in the groove creatively.  Last weekend one of my favourite songs for dancing, I don't know the name of it, with my hubby was playing.  The whole family was here and normally I would not dance with them here.  However, I really needed to dance and so we did.  Our three grandchildren came into the kitchen to watch us.  They had huge smiles on their faces.  So good!

I have been thinking a lot about creativity and what a gift it is.  I choose to honour that gift and practice art daily.  Some aspects of the creative life are a real slog though.  Being an artist is not for the faint of heart.  Still, I am doggedly determined to 'make it' in the art world.  I was cleaning out my old emails this morning and was encouraged.  In my art folder, there were numerous acceptances in 2018.  I got to be the Artist in Residence at Ayr Library and I was contracted to do my first installation.  Both were pretty big deals for me.  I am so grateful to remember those opportunities.  Hopefully, there will be more along those lines.

I am not sure if I will be able to participate next week.  I am heading to Italy and Switzerland for a much-needed vacation.  I really like the prompt though.  I might be able to squeeze in writing my blog about it before leaving.  Do forgive me for not visiting your blogs next week though!
