Underwater World

Feeling a little under-water at work lately with some of the shenanigans that have recently come into play.

Though these Manta Rays are a little brighter orange and more round than Nature's, their swift and silent movement through the ocean and their ability to sense electrical currents in those sea creatures around them (many of them lurking just below the ocean floor), are just as real.

The stacked charcoal and the fossilized fish outlined on the ocean floor represents sly tactics, office politics, and outdated ways of thinking and working.

The little dingy with a single paddle represents my gratitude for lifelines outside the office, and opportunities to get over the daily ripples in the water's surface.

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I am willing to change and to grow.  I now create a safe, new future.” (chronic dis-ease)

Day 53 Thankful for apple pie

 

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make something in which the sense of smell is the essential component.

Media:  Magazine and calendar photos, wall sticker, glue stick.

Time:   1H:20M

Comments:  Thanksgiving morning and freshed-baked apple pie are both joys to the sense of smell.  Today, while l spend time with family and experience moments of gratitude for all the abundance of life, what better time to remember that I am willing to change and to grow.
