Maybe choosing to
Step out of your comfort zone
Will bring happiness

My grand-daughter is a very talented artist in acrylic painting and charcoal drawing, especially in doing portraits.
Yesterday when we got together to do our crafting project she surprised me by saying” I want to try something different”
And so she did! She stepped out of her comfort zone and created something “Wonderful” in mixed media paper collage. 😊
In art or in life,
I want to be a day brightener,
Make people smile.
Even if I don’t succeed,
I do have fun trying.

Today I enjoyed myself as I created this art piece which I titled “Happy Mail”.
It is an art collaboration project that I and another artist did as part of the USPS Art Project, which is a project many artists across the USA are doing to help fund the struggling US Postal Service.
I think it turned out quite cheerful looking and is something I actually try to live out daily in my life as I interact with people I meet.
Happiness realized
In my little world today
Promises fulfilled
Day’s filled will sunny smiles
Summer finally woke up!
Tanka
Summer is finally here and I am doing my happy dance! Temps in 75 to 80’s today and all next week! Yay!!
I am
Picking daisies
And chasing butterflies
Doing little things that keep my ol’ heart
Happy

Sitting there alone
I spy a group of cheery faces
Peeking up at me
Senryu
Just can’t be sad when there’s a bunch of cheerful daisies surrounding you. 😊
Much better to share
Scatter seeds everywhere
Fill the world with flowers
Haiku
Ah, Sunshine and flowers
Are most wondrous things
Among which I can sit for hours
Ah, Sunshine and flowers
Watered by springtime showers
Sweetest sererinty brings
Ah, Sunshine and flowers
Are most wondrous things

NaPoWriMo Day 12–Prompt: Triolet
Just a few small stones
And a little bit of time
Can brighten the day,
Create some happiness
For me to share with others
Tanka
I enjoyed painting some more inspirational rocks today to share near the path.
Many that I’d created last week were taken by those that passed by so I needed to replenish the area.
I am happy to see they are brightening people’s day.
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums
Tanka
What will this day bring?
Birds begin to sing,
What a cheerful sound!
Signs of Spring abound.
Daffodils in bloom,
Chase winter’s gloom.
Winter’s letting go,
My heart’s all aglow!
