Does anyone need to CHILLAX with me?

3/26/13
Lord, today a new day stretches before me. Already I sense it pressing in around me. I feel pressures and burdens that are not my own-it makes me edgy…I feel like I can’t live up to it, keep up with it.
Lord, release me from these perceived burdens. Lighten my load. You tell me I can come to you with my burden and exchange it for your yoke, my heavy burdens traded for rest and teaching by you…You say your yoke is easy, your burden is light…
How is that, Lord?
I sense it, I feel it.
But then I find my mouth betrays my heart.
Lord, I need to re-boot!
I need a stay-cation!
I need your rest, your gentleness, your peace for today.
Let today bloom slowly as a flower-full of beauty, joy from above and heavenly aroma- a delight to all.
Yes, Lord, make it so!

| No kidding moment: I keep scissors and glue stick in my pocketbook for journaling on the go! My daughter’s favorite place for spinach pie and the front of Sunday’s church bulletin scrapped while we wait for lunch and giggle. |

| I have been wanting to try altering a book for awhile and I have two going. This one I found in Maine at a cool little garage bookstore.Seriously I have no idea what I am doing, but just winging it as I go. I am following a number of Altered Book artists so I just look and am picking up a bit. Mostly it’s just creative fun! |
Enthusiastically, Dawn

Dawn- I love this! I have been playing around with art journaling and have at least one altered book going…I always have several journals going at once…crazy…but I love it! Now what will I link up tomorrow…I will have to find a poem in one of my journals, since I'm doing poetry month and I want to link up with RJD, too…maybe not so random…I love seeing what you are up to in the journaling arena! See ya later-Kel

You are SO creative with this. I doodle on everything, but am too impatient to do this in my journals when there are so many words dying to get out. That's all there are–just words. I'm awed by the ability to do more than that, though. Wish for it…Still, gotta go write.

Those are actually stickers! But I bet that could be a copy and paste type of thing one could use as well!
