I Feel Joy from Creating and Sharing My Art

Today's topic for the Ultimate Blog Challenge was to review a book or movie and for extra difficulty tie it to our niche. 

My first thought was of Disaster Movies. I have been a fan of every type of disaster movie my whole life. I loved the drama, the challenge that the heroes and heroines faced.

Now I may have changed my opinion. I have been through several disasters, many hurricanes, a flood, a tornado and now Covid-19, although I have not had it and hopefully will not. I have even broken my neck and recovered. I can’t help but think NO MORE DISASTERS please. I say this with a chuckle not a tear. I am not feeling sorry myself, I don’t feel that way at all. But I am feeling a little fatigued. My situations have been blessed compared to so many others. I don’t know why, but I am thankful. After surviving the Nashville tornado last month, I feel it just isn’t my time yet, that I still have a mission to fulfill. I am the heroine in my movie.

Perhaps my mission is my art and writing. I have great hope that it will bring others joy. That they will laugh at my crazy Mu birds or the colors I love to utilize will inspire or lift someone’s spirits. I don’t how people will be touched; I just hope they will be. I am still building my art business; I have a long road to go to be a successful artist from a financial perspective. Though I am already successful in my mind as I do my art, share my art and I see people smile and laugh. Especially little ones. I feel satisfaction when I see those smiles, hear those chuckles.

As I have previously mentioned I love to learn and learning about art and becoming more proficient at creating art makes me happy. I am just like everyone else; I love to be happy!

After thinking about it, maybe now I will just watch the end of disaster movies, fast forward to the scene where the heroes celebrate and move on to the new day.
