Happiness is ...

Week 33 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal
.


The journal prompt
this week from
France Papillon was
journal patterns.


The words are based around
a quotation by Mandy Hale.


"Happiness is letting go
of what you think
your life is supposed
to look like
& celebrating it
for everything
that it is
."

If this pandemic has taught us one thing,
it is that the future is always uncertain.

Plans have been rearranged,
postponed & cancelled.

Daily life is very different
& there is still no end in sight.

What certainty we do have
is only in the here & now,
the present moment.

To reflect this on my journal page,
I first altered the colour of the butterfly
then inverted the image
to create the large butterfly.

The same, but different,
as we adjust to the new normal.


It has been a very hot week,
daytime temperatures over 30C,
nights over 20C.

I used patterned paper
from Glenda Waterworth
& images from
the Graphics Fairy.

There are photo corners
by Paperchase,
printed text &
washi tape.
