Share Your World 2nd September 2024

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  What was the last photograph you took?


2.  When was your last field trip? The last field trip I had was when I went with my friend to paint the picture above
3.  What is your favourite past time as an adult? My favorite pastime is creating art and lately I have been gaining confidence in my writing which is now starting to become a pastime.
4.  Do people ask you for advice? Yes, I do have people coming to me for advice and at times it can be overwhelming, but I have learned to put up boundaries if needed and I actually like helping others.

Gratitude:

  • For being alive another day
  • For Friends who encourage me to take risk
  • For the ability to create art that brings me joy
  • For those family members who have my back
  • For my therapist who has been helping me overcome my anxieties.

Artistic Escape

M.A.D. Works

Drawing is a way for me to relax when I am having anxiety.
I am able to take stop the thoughts that plaque my head.
With each stroke of the pencil, my worries start to fade,
Transforming onto paper, a beautiful escapade.

Colors of you

M.A.D. Works

Within you, a vibrant hue,
Each color whispers a tale true.
A dash of red, bold and fierce,
With passion burning, never to pierce.
Blue like the sea, calm and deep,
Hiding emotions, secrets they keep.
Yellow shines, a ray of cheer,
Spreading warmth, dispelling fear.
Green like the earth, ever serene,
Nurturing life, a tranquil scene.
In every soul, this vibrant blend,
A rainbow of colors, without end.

Cute Olaf

M.A.D. Works

In the land of snow and frost,
Olaf the snowman is never lost.
With his bright smile and carrot nose,
Through icy hills and frozen throes.

He loves warm hugs and sunny days,
But never melts in the sun’s rays.
Olaf’s heart is big and true,
Bringing laughter to me and you.

Artwork & Poem Grumpy Bear

M.A.D. Works

In the forest deep and green,
Lives a bear, not very serene.
Grumpy is his name, you see,
With a frown as big as can be.

He grumbles and growls all day,
Chasing joy and laughter away.
But deep inside, he longs for cheer,
Hoping happiness will soon appear.

With friends by his side, he starts to learn,
That love and caring are things he can earn.
Though grumpy he may always seem,
In his heart, he holds a caring dream.

JigglyPuff: Artwork & Poem

M.A.D. Works

Jigglypuff, oh so round and pink
Singing a song, a lullaby
Put you to sleep in just a blink
But watch out, or you might just die

With a marker in its hand
It draws on everyone it sees
Leaving behind a mark so grand
A masterpiece, if you please

Jigglypuff, oh so cute and sweet
But don’t you dare fall asleep
Or you’ll wake up with rosy cheeks
And a doodle that’s yours to keep

Squirtle

M.A.D. Works

Squirtle, with a shell so blue,
A water type, so cool and true.
From its tiny form to a mighty Blastoise,
It’s a journey of strength, no need to think twice.

With a mischievous grin and eyes so bright,
Squirtle’s adventures are a wondrous sight.
In battles bold, it gives its all,
For friends and trainers, it stands tall.

Square Pumpkin

M.A.D. Works

In a patch of round pumpkins, one stood square,
Different and unique, but beyond compare.
It inspired others to embrace what makes them distinct,
For in being true to ourselves, we find strength to coexist.

In Sesame Street, there’s a furry blue beast,
Eating cookies, he never seized,
Cookie Monster is his name,
Satisfying his sweet tooth is his game.

Oh, sweet and juicy strawberry,
So bright and full of flavor,
Your red hue and tender flesh,
Fill my senses with joy and savor,
From fields to my plate,
You bring delight that’s true,
In desserts and snacks,
Oh strawberry, how I love you!

Saturday my friend and I attended a paint and sip event where we each painted our own golden tropics. We had a wonderful time. The instructor was patient and explained the instructions clearly. I definitely plan to attend another event hosted by her.

Embracing Uniqueness

M.A.D. Works

There once was a chubby young miss
Whose dream was pure bliss
To be popular and adored
By all those she adored
But unique she was, true as a kiss

Her laughter bubbled like a stream
Her kindness a radiant beam
But the girls at school
Were awfully cruel
Mocking her size, so mean

She tried to fit in, oh how she tried
But her uniqueness could not hide
Her love for books and art
Set her apart
But still, she yearned to be by their side

One day she decided no more
To change who she was at her core
With confidence and grace
She embraced her own space
And in that, she found so much more

For the boys and girls soon saw
Her true beauty, without flaw
Unafraid to be herself
She found a wealth
Of friends who loved her for all

Now the chubby girl who was once shy
Shines bright, reaching for the sky
Her uniqueness, her power
In every single hour
She’s popular, not just to comply

So remember, my dear, be true
To yourself, always be you
For your uniqueness is beauty
A gift, not a duty
Cherish it, let it shine through

Flying Free

M.A.D. Works

In the open sky,
A kite flying free and high,
Dancing with the wind.

Graceful and serene,
It soars above the treetops,
A colorful dream.

Tugging at the string,
I feel its energy,
Connecting us both.

The sun shining bright,
I watch as it dips and dives,
In joyful delight.

A symbol of peace,
Floating on the breeze so light,
Bringing me release.

In this moment, I,
Am one with nature’s beauty,
And the kite up high.

With each gentle tug,
I guide it through the sky blue,
A dance of pure love.

The world fades away,
As I lose myself in flight,
Soaring high today.

Oh, kite flying free,
You bring me such joy and peace,
My heart dances with glee.

Embracing the sky,
In unity with all things,
A kite flying high.
