Sunshine, rainbows and butterflies

Dear diary,

   We're surrounded by negativity every day. Me, more than others. And I feel the need to actively push it away and surround myself with positivity instead. So that's why I love a good sunny day, a rainbow after a summery storm or a colorful place when I see it. I breathe art, I live through it and it's the most important thing that keeps me going. So no, dear teacher from Psychology University, I believe you're not right in saying weather doesn't influence us and that it's all in our head and our own interpretation. I am very much influenced by it and a ray of sunshine after a whole cloudy day can make my day, a colorful notebook or that perfect green dress that I saw behind a window do change my day in so many ways I can't even tell you. I don't know how it happens, but I just know it does. How else would you explain color therapy or music therapy working with the same effects as your cognitive therapy on patients all over the world? 

   So, dear diary, I want to choose what I believe in and I wanna have MY OWN religion. I do appreciate people's opinions and some of them are applicable but I will go on as a dreamer and a beautiful artist who loves her own little bubble and who is thrilled every time she sees other artists like her out there. I'm not alone and I feel so good to know there are others like me in the midst of all these realistic people who know what I should do to be happy. Nope, they don't. They know what would make THEM happy, but we're so different so why not accept our differences and celebrate them supporting each other every time we're happy about something? :) In the end, feeling understood and valued is what we all need to be really happy.

Feeling wise,

D.

Day 201. Rainbows and unicorns

   I already told you I love fooling around like my kids: drawing, coloring, painting, hand crafting and such. So today, when I needed to find some "kids from all over the world" for the activity I'm having tomorrow, I was filled with the joy of anticipation and I surfed the internet for almost an hour until I was pleased with the result. Of course I could have asked some kids to color the drawings but I love doing it myself:) In the end, I'm very proud of what turned out:) 

   You could say the rainbow and I were destined to meet today because I wore the rainbow sunglasses ever since morning. It didn't matter it snowed at THE END of March. I was happy to be healthy (see where all those flu periods got me to?) and I even thought that colored snow would be inappropriate so I pretty much enjoyed snow today:) 

   I love wearing my rainbow sunglasses. I have to remember to use them during the cloudy days as well. That's when I need them the most:)
