Yellow Roses Garden http://yellowrosesgarden.com This is where I plant my thoughts, this place we call the garden of life. Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:36:27 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 An Old Friend http://yellowrosesgarden.com/2012/01/31/an-old-friend/ http://yellowrosesgarden.com/2012/01/31/an-old-friend/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:02:11 +0000 Sherry http://yellowrosesgarden.com/?p=3839 A few months ago I revisited an old friend of mine, one I hadn’t seen in a long time, my sketch pad and pens. It was rocky at first, lots of ripping out paper and crumbling it up, trying again. But that’s it, I tried again and with each try my hands, my memory and my imagination started to remember how to create again. Since then, I’ve picked up my pens, markers, pencils and explored different types of drawing, enjoying some, loving others. But what I’ve found out most importantly is that I should have never stopped drawing. 

I’ve shared some of my drawings on FaceBook and recieved lots of praise, which I was completely awed by. Then something happened that I never expected, a friend referred another friend to me to do a custom drawing for a wedding present, and I got paid for it! It is things like this that reassure you that you must be doing something right.   Will my work ever be shown in some chic little art house, or say in the Louvre ) , no…but that’s OK, I enjoy it and if a few of my friends do too, I’m happy!

Not sure if you will be interested or not, but it’s more for myself this time around. I need this outlet and I have missed my little blog. This time around, I am going to come clean from the start…..scary, huh? It’s funny how we presume what someone is feeling by reading a blog or their FaceBook status, but we know it’s not always 100% accurate. I can make you think I’m the happiest person alive but actually I have been dealing with extreme depression since I had major surgery and had serious complications. Sure I would have my up periods where I functioned fairly well, but the down times out number the up times by too many. It’s been hard on my family, but thankfully I have such loving and supportive husband and kids, without them I’d never have made it to be honest. The word depression is thrown around a lot, but anyone who has experienced true depression understands the utter helplessness you feel when you are dealing with it. Yes, I’m taking medication, it helps especially with the fibromyalgia, oh yes, I was diagnosed with that also, but there is still something….it’s hard to explain and to be honest I’m not ready to be that honest with you yet. I’m not even sure if I’ll hit the publish button when I finish this, I’m hoping I will as I truly want to start 2012 on a positive note and I believe putting this out there is a start.

Sidenote: Took me a few days…but I finally hit publish. )

The above is a new addiction. A long time ago in a land far away, I once had dreams of being a fashion designer. Life happened. I still love fashion and absolutely love to create different looks. If I had the “perfect” body and an unlimited cash supply, heaven help me I’d need a closet that is the size of my house!! And I have a HUGE house! But since that isn’t happening anytime soon, I am playing with this site Polyvore, and creating away!
