Seeking Tranquility

Seeking Tranquility
Today, as the saying goes, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It is dreary and cold outside (I understand that it is all relative compared to the weather that some are experiencing, and I am being a whiny baby.), and I loathe cold weather. Largely, my dislike of cold weather is exacerbated by the fact that it worsens my fibromyalgia and as a result, my pain level is quite high. All of my actions seem forced and melancholy is my predominant state of mind. As a result, I wanted to create a collage that, for me, represents tranquility. The blue/turquoise colors, candle, flowers, statute of the Buddha, and water fountain add to my sense of tranquility. Perhaps it will help, and perhaps it won’t, but at least, I am doing my best to deal, and that will have to suffice for today. I hope that you are safe, happy and warm wherever you may be.

5/52: The 52 Project

20140202-101114.jpg

I haven’t seen my g’children yet this week, so I am using a slightly older photo. This week, I have a photo of my 2 year old twin g’daughters, L.R. And L.I., and my 7 year old g’daughter, D. The twins love to play with their older cousin, and usually there is non-stop chaos. After much cajoling, I am able to still them for a moment for the photo. There is no time to set up the photo. This is the result. It is clear from the photo that D. is doing her best to hold on to the twins in order to keep them from bolting.

Blessings, Lydia
