Morning Georgie from France

I find being content in fact makes me happy 😊

Pottering about my kitchen making a cake that is delicious and sharing with others and is so appreciated that I have made an effort, makes me so content!

I love art as took my exams at a school and carriers advisors suggested maybe a biological artist 🧑‍🎨 but I am not a natural and love biology that has led to a biology degree and teaching. Yet I have started dabbling again as I see beautiful flowers and plants and my initial thought is I want to paint them!

I am living with the challenges imposed by Multiple Sclerosis which is affecting my hand, signature completely different 🤣 Little dabblings sometimes dont look too bad and I have drawn flowers as a base to water colour. If I want to be kind to myself maybe use Gouache which I hadn’t heard of before but my brother is a professional artist and mentioned that it is way more forgiving than watercolour.

Unfortunately my walking has become more difficult with my ms and I have learnt to be content with little achievements and that is what they recommend to do with the likes of physical challenges. Be content with those achievements no matter how small but my achievement is getting loosened up and downstairs and ready to face the day. Contentment is such a happy place to be. I am so content and therefore happy with managing to be on my feet for 20mins, possibly with the aid of my super Rolls Royce rollator which is Champagne Gold, so pretty and not the old cumbersome black unattractive Rollators! Who would ever believe that you could be content having to use such an item anyway but accepting is a big part of the challenge.

I think I am going to start your flower drawing to get my hand back into training and that will make me so content sitting at my desk drawing.

Georgie, could you refresh my memory and point me in the right direction to your flower 🌺 drawing please ?

Sorry for my ramblings on a Sunday morning, but writing this has made me content 😌 and a writing challenge completed already today 🤣. Of course not physically writing but on my keyboard but the thoughts were from by head.

I enjoy your musings and they are so valuable so don’t ever question yourself on that.

Have a lovely Sunday and enjoy and be content that you push me forward in my thoughts and actions.

Thank you.

Best

Lulu
