Today is a gift of the unexpected! What I thought I would be doing today – turns out I’m not – so that means FREE DAY!! So much can be done on a free day – but really is it free if I fill it up with obligation and to-do list items? I think NOT – which is why at least a substantial part of this free day will be spent at my big, beautiful, red easel. This makes me supremely happy!
The fact that I will be arting it up today instead of to-doing it (my usual), is very apropos for today’s art post. This is the second piece I did out of three for the Swell Sister (an amazing group of women artists) Art Show in November.

| Letting Go 12x12 Acrylic on board |
This piece originated with thoughts swirling in my head during a CR meeting (Celebrate Recovery). I’ve been going to CR since last spring – I’m sure it’s no surprise to anyone who really knows me that I’m a flaming co-dependent. Addiction/maturity/character issues – this girl will accept the blame and turn herself inside out to fix it for another – until she explodes ugliness all over the place. That’s the cycle – or it was the cycle until God got my attention about working on my own character/maturity issues and leaving other peoples crap to Him. It’s a journey – I fall, I get back up – I have good days and bad – but all in all I’m making progress in letting go of some very unhealthy stuff. This painting is about the process of letting go – letting go of destructive behaviors, relationships and thinking which have influenced my life and relationship with God.
I'm off to enjoy my free day - I hope you enjoy yours!
