Hi again! You have made so much progress. Well done!!
The thing that stood out to me is putting on makeup! That's something I miss a lot as it's so hard for me to do it now. I always try at party time but don't usually succeed.
Is that Maslove triangle of needs for depressed people only or for everyone?
I can't share your faith in God as I've always been a non-believer. I am very happy for you that faith is coming to help you through this recovery!
Your Mandala is stunning. Is it digitally coloured?
Thank you for posting 'DEPRESSION 2'.
Wow, Dee, a mouthful. Thanks for the kind words.
Why is it hard for you to wear makeup? For me it is a schlep, but it is gratifying even if only one person tells me that I look okay.
The Maslov triangle is for absolutely everyone. I will explain a bit more in my next blog.
I can only say that without my faith I would not have been where I am today. In the deepest darkness of despair, my faith has pulled me through, time and again.
No, I coloured the mandala with Sharpies. I have not yet reached the age of digital art. I am into "slow living". I used to do cross stitch embroidery when my eyes were still fine. I crochet because it takes time to create something, and I take pride in the end product, however long it takes. I colour for the same reason. It is an almost "mindless" exercise, but it calms me immensely to sit with all my pens and paints scattered around me. Instant gratification is not for me...
It's not hard for me to wear makeup. It's hard for me to apply it as I only have one working hand and it's not my dominant hand. I was right-handed when I was a whole person but now I have to be left-handed. Everything takes me so much longer.
I must get some of those Sharpies :) Thank you for telling me about them :)
