I always say it to other people but it's hard to remember it for myself. <BR/><BR/>As for the craft and arty stuff- maybe if I call it a hobby. Yeah, I know, *obvious!*. But it's only just occurred: look, you need a little escape and a hobby is a good thing and if you're not breaking the bank it's ok and if it makes other people smile as well, well, that's ok, isn't it? Yup, that's ok.<BR/><BR/>Like my OH said to me this evening, he has football that he goes to watch and gets an annual season ticket for, so why can't I buy some stamps and fancy paper, if that's fun?<BR/><BR/>Yup. Hobby it is then.<BR/><BR/>))))thanks for reminding me I'm not the only one((((<BR/><BR/>thanks, everyone.Mrs Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972137710178467475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-68590319928449974542008-08-04T21:09:00.000+01:002008-08-04T21:09:00.000+01:00Hi Helena,I wish I could quit my job and spend mor...Hi Helena,<BR/><BR/>I wish I could quit my job and spend more time painting and drawing. It's what makes me happy. <BR/><BR/>Yea, everyone tells me I should get into galleries and sell my art... BUT where and how? It's the searching, showing and selling that I find very difficult to do all by myself. If I only had someone to take my hand, point the way and pull me along.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your 100th post.

I even quit my job. I just can't handle it right now. I totally understand. I've been working on the writing a children's book idea for years.

Probably more than half the population of the planet... who really knows what life is all about? Nobody has that knowledge or the final answer... some claim they do.. but where is the proof? ... .. I am not one to believe just because somebody "sort of convincing" tells me I should...

And you have a beautiful soul, one we all love and cherish. Keep wading through the mire bonny lass, there is a happier spot ahead, you'll glimpse it soon.. you always have.<BR/><BR/>And for what it's worth, this is the flip side of having been gifted with so, so much talent and creativity which most of us out here haven't even a hope of ever coming close to having. What you do is amazing, it's a precious, valuable gift Helena, and we are all the richer for brushing near it. You touch us, and lighten our lives with your wonderful writing and with the beautiful art you can seem to so effortlessly produce. Hang on in there hon, I know you won't believe it from where you are sitting right now, but it WILL pass, life will be good again, you'll see. I wish I could hug you. xxShrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-28255350025147343302008-08-04T10:50:00.000+01:002008-08-04T10:50:00.000+01:00Helena, congrats on your 100th!

You've expended a lot of creative energy recently. The creativity can't start in the depths of a depression, but when it does start it lifts and lifts. The down-slide after is bad, but IT DOESN'T LAST FOREVER. I know this. I've lived closely with it for many years. IT WILL PASS. Go into hibernation if you need to, but always remember that the creative spring will come again.<BR/>You are NOT "pointless, meaningless and useless", you are a creative, caring person. You <B>will</B> break through again.<BR/><BR/>((HUGS))Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-6241833676346101762008-08-04T08:01:00.000+01:002008-08-04T08:01:00.000+01:00H, have a day away from anything creative.

It is a lie depression tells you, that it won't get any better. You wouldn't believe what a pushy salesman tells you, well don't believe this. Those feelings you have are just feelings -- chemical reactions.<BR/><BR/>I am praying for you -- hope you don't mind.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.com
