January Journal Day 26 - Serenity

Hi,

If you are new to my blog,

Welcome. My name is Teresa, aka Tess.

And if you are a returning follower, well of course

you are welcome here too.

I can't believe it is almost the end of the month. As some may know I have been following along with Misty Mawn's January Journaling assignments. I did a journal page a day last January. I don't know how I managed it. I am so far behind this year. I've been busy creating a giveaway and a post for the 2010 One World One Heart event. (As well as busy with life in general.) This is my first year to be hosting a giveaway. It's been so much fun. Anyway, back to the journal. I did work on a few pages this past week. I'm not following along the prompts as at this point I am just playing and I think Misty would be ok with that. Below is my "It's Raining Daydreams" page.

I wish you could feel it as I actually managed to add some texture to the flowers and stems using gesso. The paint is water color. I've added words to this page now and then for over a week. I have no idea if it's done yet or not.

I have really been needing a lot of Serenity these days. I won't bore you with the details. Below is an unfinished page. A start with the wonderful serenity prayer.

I plan to take my time with this page so that I will be reading the prayer over and over again. I need Serenity in my life right now. It is so hard to accept things that are out of our control sometimes. Atleast for me it is. And I need the courage to keep my mouth shut. I guess that would be the wisdom to keep my mouth shut. LOL! :)

I hope you will visit my post below this one and enter my OWOH giveaway. I have a wonderful story to share with you there.

I'm off to ride my magic carpet. If you haven't a ticket you are welcome to share my ride. (Just visit the other commenters, most are playing along too.)

Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be Yourself,

Tess
