I did this collage a few nights ago in the middle of the night, like at 3-4:00 in the morning, because I couldn’t sleep. With the transplant looming closer, it was fun to do a collage, and it helped relieve my anxiety. This card is all about LIVING! What are you LIVING for? How are you LIVING each day? What brings you JOY? FEEL IT! You need to feel what you’re experiencing. Most of the things on the collage are things I thought were fun or funny.
The dog with the flower wreath is my favorite. He looks so Happy! The cartoon in the corner is from a 1936 high school yearbook. The cloud looks “put out” that the man isn’t feeling the raindrops. The little kid is really enjoying whatever he’s looking at. The lady is relaxing and LIVING LIFE. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a green vase like that?! Flamingoes are just funny in general. Of course, flowers and abstract art have to put you in a good mood. As well as a VW bus filled with flowers.
What do want from me? Remind me that even when times are tough, there will be something to smile about. What do you give to me? JOY. Take time to feel everything–even the bad days.
I think I’ll take a few of my collages with me to brighten my day and this will be one of them.
