Its been awhile since I added a face to my face journal. I saw a drawing of a girl on a ladies blog and I wanted to try my hand at her style. This is what I came up with and its not near as nice as hers! Anyways thats not the purpose of my face journal..its really a journal I tend to go to when I'm feeling down, or having some emotion and I like to start to draw...sometimes I feel like I do my best drawing when Im an emotional mess. I have lived in the community that we live in now for aprox. 8 years. During that time I have tried to put myself out there and make friends..but to no avail. And I just hit bottom the other day and I have decided that I am done. So out came my journal to start drawing, and I may not be done. This is a big hurt and It may take me a few drawings to get over. When you see the quote about how ART heals your soul that is so true. I will have to say though that first God heals my soul and Art helps me deal. Seeing my post (I had posted on facebook a song that is called, "a beautiful letdown" by switch foot..and that I was done) my long time friend whom I have not seen in a long time as we both have moved far apart, posted to me in a message the quote I used in this drawing. I thought it was fitting and It touched my heart. I will keep going...but it will be just for my family. I am done trying in this town and I will just accept it and pray that God will lead us on. Im ready.
Thanks for stopping by maybe my next face and quote will be more inspirational and uplifting!

A beautiful journal page. You are very brave to talk openly about your feelings and I admire that. I have the same problem where I live, in a close knit rural community, that is very cliquey and does not accept outsiders. Life can be a lonely one but the views are spectacular and so is the wild life! Chin up and carry on. Incidentally, after 15 years, I gave up on them too. We have two dogs and a horse for company and that is enough.xx
Thank you Janet for your comment! God Bless you and enjoy your horse and dogs! I grew up in Montana and had a horse...I love them so much, they are such beautiful animals arent they?
