Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

😊 Thank you so much @PeppiPatty ..... but I didn't paint this one ....

I will accept the compliment tho cos I could have painted it .... and probably will next time I knock over a cup of coffee ... ❣

I am going to go go looking for more "coffee-spill" art .... I like it .... both for the concept and for the art itself .... ❣

@Faith-and-Hope

Your artwork is beautiful. Im positive your artwork is better than that.

This ismy rose I painted today..I was thinking of you when I was painting it....notice the liquid paper because I thought I had no white ink.......

Hi @PeppiPatty

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful rose .... it has really touched my heart.

Pressures and chaos are bubbling to the surface all over my family, and I don't always know what to do to try to contain it .... and I am tired .... not from lack of sleep .... just tired from keeping on .... holding it all together .... and I know that you know what I mean.

It was such a joy to come wandering around the forums and find your painting here.

🌷💗💕

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope

Yes they are all over their colds and back to work

Back to work is another subject -- but that is life xx

sending you hugs for today

Good morning @Shaz51 ..... 😊

Dear @Anony18

How are you, I may have met you loosely in last couple of days but hello to you now.

I like your advise to your partner, in that he needs to take care of himself from his family. Cheers to you.

What do you do for relaxation ?

I'm working hard at doing some artwork this week so I get some time of me time.......it's going to an elderly woman I know but the artwork made me feel very special when I was doing it.

yawn, off to work I go.......

'Morning @Anony18 @PeppiPatty and anyone else who's around ....

Wishing you good energy for your day ....

🌷💜

Dearest @Faith-and-Hope

Just to let you know that your on my mind.

You are fragile.

Like a cup of coffee spilling, a yummy cuppa spilling on the table and forming into a beaut piece of artwork might be your sign to be gentle.

I will always commend Apple @Appleblossom for reminding me of this about myself and now it's my turn to remind you of this in you.

I've got to race off to work/ Im working too hard and it's getting to me but I'm lucky enough to get to the beach a couple of times during the day to think nothing. I'm wondering if you can remind yourself of the little steps:

And plan your days for a iittle while like this: FOR example:

8am ......wake up .

8.15am ......shower

9am..........coffee, breakfast. K off to school.

9.30am.....work hard at X

10am...time out 10 minutes. Shut eyes

10.30am.....do X

10.33......time out. Shut eyes

Hi @Faith-and-Hope - just popping in. Already anxious from waking up. This is my mini breather before I have to carry on. I hear the rain pouring outside!

@PeppiPatty - A great big HELLO to you!

I was glad i was able to give him that advice. It is the rare opportunities I get to as he is not a very open person. As he responded to me the Sunday prior - no one knows about how depressed he really is other than his psych and me (whether it is cause I just ask the right questions or he opens up to me without realising). He is a bit of a funny one. He starts talking to me and says he doesn't want to think or talk about it but tends to carry on. But it is good that I know the chaos with his home life and hope I can try to be some form of positivity and stress relief in time. Let's hope he takes my advice. When it comes to family it can be a bit hard at first to separate yourself from them and think about your own needs.

I like to watch movies and I do dance as well. Tennis season will be starting as well soon. I decided to get back into it. Got a concert in a few weeks so lots of prep! Your painting is amazing. I wish I was that artistic.
