Finding Enjoyment

Posted by in Marlene's Feel Good Blog | 0 comments

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today…

I road my bike today, for the first time since shipping it across country. I had almost forgotten just how much pleasure it gives me. There was a feeling of total freedom, as thoughts and worries vanished and memories of carefree childhood days flooded my mind. I remembered hours spent outdoors immersed in the scenery. Chatting with a friend with no destination in mind, we were totally present an enjoying every moment.

Today as I glided past sunlit trees and flowering gardens I appreciated all the natural beauty around me. Most of all I relished the feeling of timelessness. Inside I am still that young girl and what brought pleasure to me then, still brings joy to me now.

Too often we forget to take time for what gives us enjoyment. Most of us are bogged down by daily routines and responsibilities. When you find something that gives you pleasure, make the time to enjoy whatever that is. You may even want to pull your old bicycle or even better purchase a new one. In any case enjoy the ride!

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more. To view samples of my artwork, just go to http://www.createdigitalart.com/designers/marlene.php. Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
