Perfectly Pink: Thank Heaven For Girlfriends

“IT IS ESSENTIAL to our well-being to have girlfriends. It is the key to a happy marriage, I tell ya. If you are expecting your husband to give you the kind of empathetic/sympathetic, active-listening, chocolate-sharing, soul-baring experience that you can only achieve while inadvertently sniffing a shared nail polish bottle, you are barking up the wrong tree, Fifi.”

Anita Renfroe, If You Can't Lose It, Decorate It! Perpetual Calendar, 2008

A Pink Idea...

On The Joy of Creating....

Joy often comes when we have become so absorbed in creating something new that we forget everything else (including our woes).

"If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden." ~ W. Wolfe

And, as Brenda Ueland once put it, we become as children 'stringing beads in kindergarten -- happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another.'

Here's a list of possibilities to get you started. Why not take an idea and create something new today.

~ paint ~ putter ~ puzzle ~

~ glue ~ sprinkle ~ bead ~

~ waltz ~ strum ~ skate ~

~ sing ~ color ~ wrap ~

~ stitch ~ compose ~ play ~

~eat ~ sip ~ bake ~

~ ponder ~ draw ~ design ~

~ craft ~ sculpt ~ write ~

~ decorate ~ read ~ dream ~
