Crafty Night

I got in touch with my creative side tonight and made several pieces of jewelry for the heck of it. It was very relaxing and fun. I find I really like this creative work between the photography, soap making and jewelry - I am turning into a crafty woman. :)  Here are the pieces I made tonight.

I post them here because a few of you have asked to see the work I am doing and I wanted to share.

While I was making these pieces I was thinking about how great it feels to create things. I don't just mean art like jewelry or painting furniture - but create life. As I thought about it - I realized that I create good feelings and bad, I can create good experiences or painful ones. Each of us decides by focusing on our point of attraction how we will perceive any situation. So it is certainly within my ability to view a circumstance as both good and bad simultaneously. There is a theory that says that every possibility exists at the same time and it is your point of focus that brings one event to the forefront and focus of your attention and that event becomes your reality.

As I think about different events in my life and reflect on this concept I realize how true it is... both you and I could be standing at the shoreline. We witness a group of dolphins swim past - I see 4 dolphins jumping in and out of the water - you see two dolphins because your view is blocked by the lifeguards chair... did we experience different events? Cool, right?

I digress. Something differently - oh, that would be that I decided to do weight-lifting at home tonight rather than go to spin class. I love my Wednesday spin, but, when I heard my favorite instructor wasn't going to be teaching - I decided to take it easy tonight and just do floor exercies and weight lifting at home.
