(But seriously, moderating serves to "de-stress" just June...June's kinda weird...)

Now why does none of the above surprise the ever modest June?
P.S. It's nice to have a guy posting in this thread!
Mystic thats awesome. You are very talented. Music, i can not do a thing except just listening and enjoying. I have done 3 paintings. I took the Bob Ross classes for them. I need to get out of the habit of thinking everything has to be perfect. lol.
Ans...If i get the courage up i wouldnt mind sharing. lol. Are you talking the writing or the drawing.

I write poetry and journals to relieve the stress of moderating
Actually a nice ride to a beautiful secluded reclaimed mountaintop and soaking up the sun while reading or just allowing my mind to clear itself of all the stress and "busyness" of the world down below in the valley.
Mystic I love blues piano, and although there are artists in the family I am not so gifted but do love to "doodle" with shapes..

June...you moderate wonderfully.
I liked watching Bob Ross when I was younger. He was always so peaceful and gentle. I can't imagine him ever throwing things or losing his temper.
"Now, I'm going to put some happy little trees over here."
Did the classes help you? Is it as easy to paint as he makes it look?
herefornow...His classes were wonderful. He actually had a school that trained "teachers" and the lady that led the Bob Ross class i was in was saying how nice and calming he was, yet they had to know what they were doing in order to teach in his name.
"Happy Little Trees" i too loved watching him. He was a gifted man.
ans....i'll get my courage up. I am my own worst critic thats for sure.
another stress reliever i think is listening to the water at the Lake or Ocean...soothing.
Oh, this is fabulous, all of you! I draw, too!! But really, not often right now.
I want to hear Mystic's blues on the piano! I am SO Jealous of people to play the piano, and to paly the BLUES! Oo-oo-oo-oo! Can I sing the blues while you play? Oh, yeah! And I can skat a little! Not well, but it's fun! And can you play for me while I sing a spiritual or two???? Woo! This is getting good!
I can't paint. I hate what I paint. It all gets destroyed on the very day.
But I have journaled.
My most recent poetry and drawing was in a journal during my most recent days of getting over the old church. I wrote some fairly biting stuff about the old church with a lot of humor thrown in. It was a lot of fun and a huge release.
