Singing Myself Happy

I was still disturbed about work this morning but after I vented about it to my husband I went into my craft room and started to sketch my bird from yesterday onto an index card. I got so involved in the process of sketching, refining and coloring that I was soon lost in my work and my heart was singing. When I first finished the bird looked lost sitting on his branch that was hanging out in space with lots of blue space around him. So I drew his branch out to the left side of the card and that was an improvement. I added the notes because he looked like he should be singing and I liked that result, too, but, the right side of the card still looked barren.  I went to my computer and looked for quotes about singing birds and Bingo! I found a quote that explained my morning. There wasn't a song in my heart but I got to work on something I loved (I sang anyway) and now my heart is truly singing for two reasons. I really love how my little bird turned out. And because I can't believe how far my drawing has come in just a couple of weeks!
