When I read up on the topic of Goal setting, I found that the terminology I was using were not conventional, but the three stages I saw were pretty accurate, that is to get to the FINAL point, there are INTERMEDIATE STAGES to be gone through, and each of these stages consists of a series of MINI-STEPS with verifiable outcomes.
This first image was done a few days later, during which time I had begun this blog.
Next image was evoked by the idea that a key part of WONDERING, might be GRATITUDE - saying thanks for small details of our lives.In the darkness, gratitude takes effort - again a DECISION which I need to make if I am to reach the WONDER and JOY I am aiming for.
A fellow-artist remarked that with all the pages I have made, there were few direct references to my own history of Christmas.
This image shows the 75 years of my life. I was struck by the number of times I had moved house, and I wondered whether this had seriously affected me, more than I realized.
Next image is probably the one that surprised me most - I listed the 75 years again, in more orderly fashion, and rooted in my mind for memories.What shocked me was the number of blank years of which I have no memory. This is possibly average, but it still surprised me as I expected to remember much more.
The STRUGGLE image raises questions - hoping to prod memories, but without success.
I think at least a part of my brain is deliberately 'not remembering' - doesn't want to go over the painful past, not even if there were a certainty that doing so might give me clues as to how to proceed.
Finally, I read this quote about PEACE this morning (Thursday), and thought that Peace and Joy are frequently linked in Christmas greeting cards.
Again, I am questioning about the decisional aspect of Peace. I sense that all these concepts are linked, but so far, the linkages are blurred, unclear, and somewhat confused. But despite this, that river is sparkling!
