Curing A Bout Of Anxiety With Paint

Yesterday I found myself wrestling with feelings of anxiety. It was Mother's Day and I guess that should have made me happy. Though any holiday tends to make me anxious. My grandson was over like he is every Sunday, happily playing that stupid video game.  The man was sitting playing his stupid video game and the television was on.  I had most of the day to do what I wanted since the boys wouldn't be over until later but I couldn't get myself to settle. There was this feeling of seriously I feel like the odd man out yet again, like I just didn't belong. So I got out my paints and painted just to not be able to over think things like I usually do. It kept me absorbed for a bit so I guess it worked.
