Journal entry:
You may have noticed the words: beat, pressure, and substance in the above journal entry. They are also in the poem below and I found them at Three Word Wednesday. You might use the prompt at that site as well.
Artistic Contemplation
Give yourself a few
Moments to consider full
Implications of
All creative work you do,
Is it worth your energy?
Ponder the substance
Of the items you create,
Are they worth your time,
Or do you beat yourself up
For wasting days on vain things?
Do you melt under
Overwhelming pressure to
Succeed and excel?
Do you accept the challenge,
Simply do your very best?
You must give yourself
Permission to follow your
Heart, creating art,
Fulfilling your need without
Worrying to please others.
Do not cause yourself
Grief over what everyone
May think or believe,
Creativity transcends
And brings its own ecstasy.

I am grateful:

2. We have clean running water.
3. I have comfortable shoes.
4. The dishwasher keeps our dishes clean.
5. Our dogs are great companions.
I hope you have enjoyed your Friday. It has been a very good day for me. You can make your day better by doing something creative now. You have the imagination and the creativity to produce a work of artistry.
