Time Out

Week 38 in my

Mellow Kraft
Journal.

The art journal prompt

this week from

France Papillon was

the new want.

This week we took a trip to the coast.

It was the first time this year

that we had seen the sea.

We walked & talked,

had a picnic lunch

sitting high on the sand dunes

watching the waves

breaking on the shore below.

Wind in my hair,

sun on my face

& peace in my heart.

This was one new want

that was actually a true need.

Our mental, spiritual & emotional well being

are as equally important

as our physical well being.

This week also saw the introduction

of the Rule of Six,

in an attempt to stem the spread

of  COVID-19.

The Rule of 6

A Clear Space

First, may I welcome you &

thank you for taking the time

to visit my blog.

Second, it is all change at Blogger

as they have recently altered

the look of their editing format.

I am gradually learning

how the new system works,

but blog posts are taking longer to write

& may not look quite the same.

This blog post is to document

week 36 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal.

We have reached another new month,

which means a new art journal theme
from France Papillon.

The first prompt was

unclutter.

For the first time

since lockdown began in March,

we made a trip to the tip,

to clear the pile of rubbish

which had been gradually building up.

A new month also means

a new design focus.
