It's nearly mid-March. How long have I been hibernating for? Months in fact. Months and months of pulling inward away from the world, away from the darkness, the cold and life's winter storms. Weather patterns can be so unpredictable. So when life's storms arrive on your door step I hope that you have your survival kit in order. Mine contains: kindred spirits, a quiet corner, prayer (if you can manage it, and on the worst days you may not be able to), a dog to curl up with and mugs of tea.
With the arrival of March the sun is stronger, the sound of melting snow trickles to the sewers and the smell of mud reminds me that it is time to come out and play again. That is how I found myself back in my painting studio after months of inactivity. I tried to paint intuitively choosing colours and shapes that pleased me without giving myself any restrictions. My goal was to play, to be happy again.

Today is sunny and the mercury has climbed all the way to 5 degrees Celsius; and tomorrow? Fifteen to twenty centimeters of snow. Oh well, today is lovely and I have decided not to let tomorrow's flurries dampen my happiness today. I'm on my way out the door for a sunny walk with our dog.
Thank you for stopping by at My Turquoise Kettle Life today.
Wishing you a most happy day,
Sandra
