Journal Entry for February 8, 2008 Mood
Friday, February 8, 2008

Feeling mighty fine today!!!

I went to an incredible art class last night at a dynamic, fun amazingly alive art school in Manhattan. As soon as I walked in I felt the most incredible energy there and the time just flew by. I still have a gigantic smile on my face from last night. I'm going to keep taking classes there. I had really been in the dumps during this past week, and this art school completely lifted my spirits back up and now I'm filled with energy and excitement about life. It was nice to be reminded last night that for me making art is as exciting as being in love, so I need to give myself a lot of chances to do that. It takes some of the pressure off of me around the whole desire to be with women. Art balances me. As a child, art was sort of a therapist to me, the place I went to pour out my heart and soul during some hard times, and now I am delighting in it again in the same way.

YIPPPEEEE.

    Read your journal entry, stood up, did a little tap dance, and decided, since this Friday I am going to have me a vodka tonic this evening and toast you. You know I am happy for you. Stay strong gal, your dream awaits you.

    Go you! I wish that I could feel that way about something, well other than being in love. It must be amazing, I hope you continue to enjoy it!

    Inspiring. Nice to meet another creative spirit. I know how the value of art as a catharsis! It's helped me survive many hardships, and emotions as well. Used to play and sing music quite a bit, but since my voice changed, I've focused a lot on writing as my new wave of expression! Keep up with the art. I'm planning to do some painting as well, eventually...

    I'm an artist myself, so I can relate to having it lift your spirits. Good for you!!! Can't wait to hear more. :)
