Cheerfulness is the very flower of health

"Cheerfulness is the very flower of health." This was the proverb to start me off on a track of making flowers and paper clips.  This was on an affirmation card that was turned to the day and the box was supplied originally from the Affirmation House, surprisingly.  This little box was a gift to me by a supplier as she felt that I needed to have something to brighten my day. That it did!  I must tell her one day that what else it sparkled into being.

All the entries I made for the day on my shop on Etsy. Here's the link for the shop just in case you want to make my day!(https://etsy.com/meredithrosecreative)

These entries all had flowers in their images and I included this affirmation in the notes.  Most of them were created when I couldn't sleep for the last week.  Trying to find that silver lining in the cloud I guess - making something productive even though I can't do that rejuvenation thing. Just for something a little different.  I'm still learning how to use all the technology of today - does that make me sound old? yep that's because I haven't kept up with the times.  I should have. I know I should have.   The knowledge of knowing I should have didn't help me to actually achieve this though. I needed motivation. I needed to get away from just thinking of all the bad things that have happened to me. I needed to focus on the good things that I could do.

This flower paper clip marathon flowed on from the previous brainwave that was the first photo on the video (#songtitlesequins) which you can find on Instagram ( link below) and just use the hashtag listed above to see the song title batches that have been created so far. I will attempt a separate blog on that process and what I've achieved so far in that creative wave.
