This is how the dictionary defines this word abulia. It kind of has an alarming sound to it; ya know like it's a major disease. However, I think I'm suffering from it at the moment :) I like to think Definition #2 pertains to me, here, with trying to decide what affirmations I want to add to my collage for the exchange I am hosting. Some, who know me, might think Definition #1 is more appropriate for me - lol! By the way; I've received some gorgeous pieces, so far, and I'm very excited about this exchange. Oh dear; I just thought of something....................I will, once again, suffer from abulia as I will have trouble deciding on which collage I want to keep here! :)

Anyway; this is my collage without my affirmations. They will be a "game call". I decided to go a bit whimsical, with my collage, as most of my art pieces are on the serious side. I can't free-hand draw or paint worth beans so I used my face from a photo I had. The hair and body are free-hand painted however. I wish I still had that body!!! The hair - well I used to have hair like that! Thick, long, lots of body. Now it's very short, coarse, and filled with specks of white :) I guess this signifies what WAS outwardly me, but now am really the same person but with a new voice. Hmmmmmmmmmm. There are a couple of affirmations in there somewhere. And, of course, I just had to get birds in there somehow :)

I wish you all a wonderful upcoming weekend; treat yourself to some art time, and, again, thank you ALL so much for your lovely comments, continued support and friendships!

Spring has sprung here!!!!!!!!
