I’m glad to know that in the 50’s people were as weird and awkward as me.

The first entry of my Art Journal. I have a feeling that Buddha might make a few cameos in this journey as well. His teachings resonate with me. It made sense to me to focus my attention on Buddhism in general as well because it feels like a very uncultivated religion. Buddha was fat, happy, and wise. He was real. Mind you I am not going to follow any one religion looking for answers, but I am looking in general for the words of the wise. What mantras to keep close and how to live life with those in mind with every step that you take. It’s a good start.

I have the quote “My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.” from Rumi’s The Tavern as a reminder that, even though I’m in transition now, I’m ending up in a much better place.

Sorry to my followers, I have not used this blog so much as I should considering all of the crazy life that has gone on outside of these walls.
I am in the baby steps toward forming and molding my own happiness project. After years of where I felt as though I left the old me behind, I have been wanting to really find the basis of cultivating my own happiness. I have felt out of alignment for quite some time. I also think if anything having some discipline to do so is also a good thing. Blogging also makes the chaos looks pretty.
I am proud to say that this is something I have not stopped thinking about since about six months ago when I really started seeking guidance. I needed other opinions, I needed other view points and reasons as to why I was not as happy as I should have been. After realizing that I needed a helping hand, I came across Gretchen Rubin’s book “The Happiness Project.” Her words, and her journey gave a course to mind. It also put to rest some of the things I have been struggling with since adolescence.
I will tell you this really is not about to be something so in depth as she did. I am not going to be making any hardcore analysis as to why shit doesn’t seem to go my way as often. Today, I started an art journal, I also keep only ONE notebook for anything that runs through my mind, or catches my fancy, and I have to write it down. I also plan to use this blog as a sound board to the goals I want to face… for instance, to not swear at all for a whole week. Punishment may just be paying someone else a quarter for every time I slip up. It will also be a description for my personal mantras and general babbling that somehow makes me feel better. So all in all, it will still be full of pictures I find either beautiful, inspiring, or down right hilarious.
