I decided at the start of this year to be highly motivated in all things creative.
I would get my artwork into the public arena and make more sales.
I would open up my studio to the public during the Noosa Open Studio two week period in August this year.
I would participate in the art exhibition later this year of The Street Shows Its’ Art
AND I would finish my Life Story, my memoir.
Working on everything at once is sometimes a difficulty but I have tried to work on the ones most prominent in my mind at the time.
And of course, work continuously on my garden, paint, teach, look after my family and generally enjoy my life every day.
So, back to my Life Story, my memoir.
I have;
1. Sorted out my photographs
2. Made notes on each photo of time and place.
3. Worked on my fourth draft of my life story.
It is a strange and wonderful feeling, going back over your life. Looking at the decisions you have made and why you have made them. All the wrong decisions which seemed right at the time and the repercussions there of. No one, of course, goes through life making all the right decisions as being human and having choices, means trial and error. I feel if we haven’t really hurt anyone deliberately, then we haven’t done too badly.
My initial reason for documenting my life’s story was to have my grandchildren better understand what my life has been about. The ups and downs, the challenges, the striving to achieve and the achievements too, but mostly to realise that I haven’t wasted my time here on earth. That I have tried to learn whenever possible, whatever possible. To maybe encourage the young ones to go for their dreams. To have them see that life goes very quickly and to make them just get on with it.
So, with that in mind, I had better get on with it myself…………..
