Nice Day..Probably Rain

It seems that this weekend is making a lot of us feel like Eeyore on a very pessimistic day eh? Sat in our homes gazing whistfully out the windows ,looking at the rain falling in a thin veil around us wondering when it will dry up enough to go out without the dreaded drizzle soaking us to the bone.

But look on the bright side, just becausethe weather sucks and we are seemingly trapped in the house it isnt really so. The only thing that is making your home feel like a prison is YOU....there are plenty of things you can be doing. Remember that each day is an opportunity to look into something new and perhaps look up a new hobby. I personally started to learn wood carving last autumn/winter and make custom made wands, athames, bessoms and staffs from natural woodfall. It gives me great joy and keeps my mind ticking over and occupied finding the way the natural wood would like to be worked. I must say that although it makes my arms hands and brain ache that it is very satisfying once they are made, decorated, had their crystals added and been given a few coats of natural beeswax to make them glow with warmth.

Usually I have a person in mind for them and it seems that things turn out great as I also seem to have all the items I need to create them.

Another hobby I relax into and use is photography. Over the cold months when I literally cant get out I go through the pictures I have taken over the spring summer and the times I can get out and work on them. I tweak them here and there play with colour filters, turn them into black and white or sepia and then build a portfolio of the ones I am really impressed with. In fact I have had offers to sell some of them and intend to open a website soon with sets of copyrighted pictures on that will actually be for sale. I also enter them into competitions on the net and so far although I havent won I have come in the top three a few times!!!!! Life through a lense is sometimes a good way for us to capture not just those precious moments but to become more in contact with nature, the environment around us and to really see the world as is rather than through impression. It's surprisingly rewarding when you have captured a picture of something and when you fiddle around with a copy of it you reveal a whole new perspective. Different mediums are like the seasons of the year, each has its own beauty and definition YOU have to find them.

So as you can see once again having an Eeyore day opens up opportunities in the same way that you yourself can can even through your BP. You neednt loose heart, just begin to look at life outside the box, investigate, learn and discover what else there is in life that you are good at and what interests you. You never know what it will be be but in the long run Im sure you will have fun finding it.
