Yikes - I could never live there although it sounds like a great place to be! :) <BR/><BR/>I have definitely made my share of bad choices - it's why I am who I am though. I know that for sure! Like I said, no regrets though - I wouldn't be ME without all the bad mixed with the good. It took me a LOT of therapy (art and regular too) hours to figure that out. <BR/><BR/>Art therapy was suggested by my regular therapist and it was a wonderful move for me. I never realized just how blocked I was creatively until I was challenged to draw. I was (and still am to some extent) a perfectionist (particularly about creative pursuits) and I wouldn't even attempt because the outcome wouldn't be good enough. I didn't think about enjoying the process. <BR/><BR/>My wonderful art therapist Andrea helped me get past some of my stuff and learn that the process is the most important part! I did individual therapy for quite a few months and then joined her art support groups for about 2 years. I haven't been to a group for about 6 months now. But, I'm still doing art on my own and that is the challenge. If I ever stop doing it on my own, I'll go back to a group where I have scheduled time to create. <BR/><BR/>I learned SOOOOO much about myself in therapy and art therapy. I look back at what all I did and learned and am amazed! <BR/><BR/>Whew - this was another whole post on its own! I'm so happy to be a part of this wonderful world of bloggers! I learn from all of you! :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191587599115454722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21157881.post-1159387913112204922006-09-27T14:11:00.000-06:002006-09-27T14:11:00.000-06:00TammyThat was wonderful.

I think you are so cool, I actually thought you came from Goddess Mountain or something.<BR/><BR/>It helps to know that other people make bad choices too. I'm so glad you found Mike and your cats. <BR/><BR/>What happened with the art therapy? It seems like a natural for you!<BR/><BR/>Happy birthday.Potato Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167165756538494045noreply@blogger.com
