Trust the Lord With All Your Heart

A good friend told me how they used to decorate their dorm room with rainbows as a way to introduce some positive energy into the space. I thought about how much the spectrum of colors affected my mood in a positive way and decided to do an experiment. I just wanted to use rainbow colors and see if it made a difference in my well-being. Honestly, I am not sure that I am satisfied with the result although mostly it is because it is so different from what I am used to. The colors strike me as being too bright. So from my point of view the experiment was a failure. It is fun to play around with color but it can also be frustrating if things go awry. It seems that I have had success with the colors of the light spectrum in the past, but their intensity was more subdued. Sometimes it seems to me that a gradual increase in intensity is the answer rather than going right to maximum strength.
     I have not been posting as much because the rainbow project has been my principle direction and I am really not too happy with it. Right now there has been more time expended on my experiments. Nothing  new, although I think that I am going to try doing a  few shell watercolors. But I have plenty of shells but nothing that is just downright exciting. Living in a landlocked area makes shell-hunting impossible. A trip to the shore is in order but it is a long journey and an overnight stay is required. Photos don't work for me. And it is really the idea that it is so exciting to go to the beach for inspiration. There is nothing like it. Even late Fall is a great time to walk the beach if you love it the way I do. Trusting God to provide the means to make an escape to more inspirational  surroundings is absolutely  necessary.
 Well, gotta go. Hope that the holidays are starting to provide a little excitement. I am looking forward to them.
God bless you. Dale
