Far and Away

what a beautiful rose @Faith-and-Hope

@Faith-and-Hope I would only like to do that in the south of the state - wouldn't want to travel any further - couldn't stay away from my babies too much. It was discussed that it could be a 1-2 day a week job - and them maybe continue teaching the other days. That was nearly two years ago that this discussion was held - still no movement from the State government re: the implementation of the program though. I still like the idea of the kid's themed parties - I'm thinking now we could also have educational themes with science and art. Kids love experiements - the more mess the better lol

I remember you trained as a teacher but didn't finish because of .... circumstances!!!! @Faith-and-Hope

I am starting to think more and more about NOT going back to teaching - not as I have been doing anyway. It is too consuming - maybe it's just that I'm not even close to being able to go back - not sure - but I definitely don't want to do that job at the moment.

I'm not having such a great night so it might just be me being negative - at least I don't have to make any decisions for quite a while yet!

And I am pleased for you about that @Zoe7 ..... that you don't have to worry about it at the moment.

I figure my painting is going to be coming to the fore again soon, with WH's return, even though I don't feel the energy for it at the moment. Once he is back here and being controlling about my use of time, my artwork becomes my shield, if I can engage with it enough.

Maybe start researching kid's party planning ideas and see whether that engages your creative brain .... have you seen the wide variety of face-painting ideas out there ?

Morning @Faith-and-Hope I hope you have had some sleep and have some energy today

You asked me a while ago - when you lack energy - to remember to remind you to just breathe ..and take it one step at a time today. Find the joy in the little things - focus on what you can 'control' in the moment and deal with everything else when you can!

I am having a similiar issue with not being able to engage with my painting atm. It is combination of a lack of motivation, being tired and not being able to sustain focus or concentration on anything for too long. It is disappointing but I need to ride this little period out - just as I have had to before so many times.

I am going to look for an image - or try and think of a concept - that we can both engage with - how does that sound to try and get you motivated - as well as me?

Thanks for that @Zoe7 ..... it sounds lovely .... as always .... 🤗💕

I have just moved the long response I wrote to the art thread .... to keep it on-topic there .... but here are some beach pics from yesterday that we could choose from ....

Here are the ones Nes I like best I think .... as the sun was going down ...

The water turned to liquid gold .... ❣

I have many more that I haven't loaded onto the iPad, if these appeal .... I can show you more of them.
