"Guilt Free"

I uploaded a pic of the garden today as it is probably the last nice day this week and it is already becoming cold at night. Autumn is coming...
I think that as a lifestyle, "art in everyday life" should encompass the garden as well as the home style. My art for the day may be some felting (I haven't decided yet) but it may be that I go to the studio or nothing at all.

A long time ago, I made Sunday "Guilt Free'. That means that I don't have to do anything if I don't want to. I can eat what I want and be lazy without all of the self beating that I do the rest of the week. I think that giving yourself a day of guiltless rest is really healing.

I did waste the day yesterday too but I beat myself up about it. I had a hang over and was tired from staying up all night. I think the blood sugar levels jump around with alcohol so you must be careful not to get depressed. Even so, I have to stick with my guilt free Sundays. I can't take anything else that has gone on during the week into account. That is the simple rule. NO GUILT

And now, since I no longer want to be on the internet, I will sign off...

About Me

My photo
I am an American married to a Brit and living in London. I have a 28 year old son who is living in Southern California and trying to decide what to do with his life. He's lovely! I have a 13 1/2 year old poodle with a degenerative muscle thing and I am constantly worried about when and how it will all end for her... I also have 2 mini daschunds (mum and daughter) and thats nice! Oh, and then there's the cat...I teach at a local art college and I have a studio where I paint. I also do sculpture and various other art things. I love to try new things and lately, I am into felting. I love living in South London (Wandsworth) and I have never been happier. There are so many green spaces and I love to go walking with dogs and friends. I am lucky because I can do exactly what I want in my art without having to worry about being commercial, however, it's nice to be recognized for what you are trying to do. Well, that's enough about me for now...
