Happiness by Casey 
Happiness is a function of accepting 'what is'.

It's Much Easier by Casey
It's much easier to go with the flow.

These are very unsettling times that we live in today. The Covid-19 Caronavirus is turning our world upside down. The entire world is battling this disease. We must shelter in place and engage in social distancing. Schools and colleges are closed, we work from home, bars and restaurants are closed, Concerts are canceled, Sports activities are canceled, boarders are closed, travel is limited, and that's the short list of changes to our world. 
These kind of changes to our everyday life are very concerning for all of us no matter where in the world we live, Depression and worry can be a constant problem. Stress is the most concerning for most.
Many years ago, I experienced a massive brain-stem stroke which turned my world on it's head. Everything changed for me in an instant. I feel today a bit like I did then. Confused and scared. Nothing is under control. I felt like screaming and I did!
 Parachute by Casey
Your Mind and Life are like a parachute. It does not work unless it's open. 

Healing Art: Comfort and Inspiration

In my recovery from this stroke, I used my art as a healing tool for me. As soon as I could sit up in a wheelchair and hold a pen, I began drawing with a vengeance. I just knew art would save my life. And it helped tremendously!   I began drawing and adding to my drawings sayings that I found inspirational to me.
I'd like to share a few of those drawings with you in hopes you might find them healing and inspirational also.  You have already seen three in this blog. I'll add others here.


 Love Works by Casey
You don't have to go looking for love when it's where you come from.


Life by Casey 
Life works when you choose what you got.

So I hope you enjoyed viewing a few of my recovery drawings. I hope they made you smile. Take this uncertain time to do something you love to do. Walk your dog, hug a tree, do art, sing, dance, cherish your family and friends by emailing them or calling them. 
We can get through this!
