I finally got that poster finished today - except for one heading that I have to print off on a laser printer but that will take all of a whopping 2 seconds. I had to get creative once or twice when I accidentally dropped the brush but on a whole, it came out alright. I also experimented with acrylic paint thinned out to watercolor consistency on a quick sketch of a shawl dancer - I used a straw to blow the paint around to create the flying fringe on the shawl...I think that if I work with it a bit, it will work well.
'Spook' update: I was a bit disappointed, but I didn't get to move anybody. I suppose I was just too boring to watch for more than one night. Even Kitt wasn't bothered by staying in my room last night. I've also got about have of the seals up and the house feels better already. Everything's coming along in that department.
There was also a new arrival on the porch today - a kitten that is at least 10 days old (his eyes are open) showed up. I don't know which cat is the mother yet. He's solid black though - easy enough to figure who the father is...there's only one solid black tomcat around who seems especially gifted in passing on that color...
Journal Jar Questions:
Is there anything that you intentionally omit from your journal? Why? Don't want to look at the pimples and warts? Rather take some secrets to the grave? Do you write to please an internal editor? How honest are you?
Judging from past entries, I don't think I can say that there is much of anything that I omit from my journals. Usually if a topic seems to be too hot; explosive or revealing it goes into the hardbound journal where it is a bit more protected - but I won't omit it. I'm a point in my life where I feel that I can't afford to omit or avoid anything. If I don't face it, I can't heal it. Besides, a few pimples and warts build character - and they can be gotten rid of.
I'm sure that there's a few people out there who wish or hope that I keep my mouth shut on a few things. All I've got to say to these people (and they know who they are) is this: You've just wasted a wish and/or a hope. Too bad you didn't use those hopes and wishes on winning the lottery or something because your odds would probably be better. You should know better than trying to run another person's life anyway.
:::The Firewolf barely sits still, struggling to control her rising bloodlust for revenge...she dreams of dreadfully dire things happening to one or two particular males' prized family jewels...She smiles like an imp at the delicious thought. She figures that she should probably get over this particular obsession but then she thinks, 'Why give up such good entertainment?':::
The reason I began journaling was to heal my life; discover my hopes and wishes and get back on my life path. That is exactly what is happening. If I am not honest with myself, I can't heal. I don't try to write to please anyone - even my internal editor, even though I'm sure that sometimes it sounds like I do. I just have to get this stuff out of my system. If I don't get it out, I get very crabby and nasty. Like Julia Cameron says in The Artist's Way: it is literally spiritual chiropractic. I get to where I can't function if I can't journal. It's all I can do to just sit, stare and be miserable.
I try to be as honest as I can with myself in these journals. What is there to be gained by lying to myself? I'm sure I probably have areas that I don't want look squarely at yet but I guess I'll deal with that when I get to it.
Now with all that said, I think I'll go to bed. Good night, all.
