Count them Off

Five things that make me happy…

I can find happiness in almost anything if I put my mind to it. Unfortunately, I am tuned to always search out the worst case scenarios.

If the questions was about people the answer is easy, my family and friends make me happy. But when I am on my own there are few things that can bring a smile to my face-

  1. Writing – Always close to my heart. My venting option when I have no shoulders to rely on. My most cherished companion, the keeper of my darkest secrets.
  2. Drawing – Stress buster. No matter whatever the situation when I need to calm myself down all I need is a pencil and paper and the world just slows down.
  3. Singing- Well, music makes most people happy. I don’t really think this needs an explanation.
  4. Reading – The gateway to the worlds of imaginations. The world of books are so fascinating. Anything is possible and I think even today even after I am an adult I still believe in the possibility of magic because of the many books I have read.
  5. My stationery collection – As an avid stationary collector, seeing the different items I have collected over the years definitely makes me happy.

Shades of Hobbies

I love learning new new things especially when it comes to art. I love painting, drawing and craftwork. I have tried multiple mediums pencils, acrylic paint, spray paint, fabric paint, alcohol markers and so on.

I can spend hours together on one single painting. By the time I am done I am in a much more better mood and time passing by just becomes an after thought.

I had heard that art is healing and experiencing it first hand I completely agree! I love watching art videos on Youtube. There are so many talented artists out there. I have added a few of my favorite videos for you guys to see.

All these artists really inspire me to try expanding my art skills and that has resulted me to become “A Jack of all, but King of none!”. But I am hopeful that the more I practice I will soon get better at it.
