thanksgiving

Thanksgiving.
Dave is making the turkey dinner.
Me in charge of pre-cleanup, table set up and post-cleanup.
Thanksgiving - in my mind much hoopla about nothing. Overeating. Making a big deal about when we are going to eat and what. I don't eat birds anyway

Re: sounds like a pretty good day

It did end up being a good day - I didn't expect it to be at first though! I guess things are what you make them...

I would like to an art therapist but I doubt I would want to do all the college classes to be an "official" one. I only have had a couple of semesters of college and most all the classes I took were studio art classes. I would have a far way to go to get a degree.

I just like to do my own art therapy. Express how I'm feeling in art - that is my art therapy. I ALWAYS feel better after doing some art.

What is "art therapy?" When you did it before, what did you do, collage?

All in all, it sounds like you ended up with a nice day. I do relate in so many ways as we talked about on the phone the other day.

Did you watch Chilhuly yet?

I'm only about 1/3 the way through Chihuly. It's good.

I just call art that I do to express my feelings my art therapy. I can paint, or do pages in my books with collage, or draw, sculpture - whatever.

I don't call art I'm doing for others, like jewelry or books, art therapy. But that is therapy for me too in a different way - I always feel better when I'm working at whatever I'm doing...
