Getting Better

Still testing positive this morning. But the Covid line is fainter… I’m feeling better too, energy coming back..

Sitting in my garden swing typing today… just when I was about to include some good habits into my life, COVID had to disrupt things…! It seems to be always like this right… when we want to do something good, we’ll start to face opposition. And so we need to remain strong and resilient against such forces. Today I was wondering about the picture book competition. And I thought, that I would be shortlisted at least… but my now, the results are not out and my hope is growing slimmer… I am getting less hopeful but im at peace with whatever result. If I don’t make the shortlist, I’ll be okay and just try again. If I make the shortlist I will be delighted or course, but still work harder… I need to put more focus and energy into this area where I think I have been called to all along: children’s book illustration. This is what I hope I can do with my life, write and illustrate beautiful children’s picture books that tell a message, spread beauty in this world, and make the world a better place one small space at a time. I want to bring peace and goodwill toward each other through my stories and I still hope to set up a little gift shop that spreads joy and peace to people that way. Yes. This is what I want and hope to achieve. Help people feel and share and express love to each other through gifts and stories. This is just a general vague direction… of course, I love to create that’s a part of me that I need to develop and use more. Help me God, help me to refine and redefine everything. Give me courage and focus, grit and determination, major on what is important, and sieve out what isn’t… close the doors that are not meant to be open and open doors that are meant to me. And things that are distractions, let them be revealed for what they are. Help me God.
