Path of Positivity - Challenge #5

It's time for a new challenge over at Path of positivity and this time our challenge is Optimism.  That can be a really hard thing to reach when everything is dark around us and stuff is not going right.

Our sponsors for you this month include:
 as well as  and and of course let's not forget 

For my project I used an image from Fresh Brewed design that you can find here it's called Peace be still.  I thought it was the best scene to reflect optimism.  When all goes wrong that's the type of image that I visualize to calm and center myself.  I find that when you think positive thoughts and are optimistic, things turn around quicker.  In the end it's only a question of perspectives... is it a half filled glass or is it half empty?

So I continued my journal. I did some doodling as well as some journaling.

I created this while on vacation.  I had brought some supplies in order to accomplish this.  I used my Label 19 from Spellbinder.  I fussy cut around the sentiment shown in the left page. I used some papers from ColorBok - photomats jewel.  I used some Panpastel as the background to the left page.
Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my pan pastels.  I used a sentiment from Create with TLC.  I did some doodling and journaling as well.

This is the great quote that comes from Decosse Dynamite doodles.  I chose this quote because I really think that what we think greatly influences the way we see the world as mentionned above.  I think that if you keep to seeing the positive and have a optimistic point of view you will be a lot happier person.  And I really strive to do this.  I have to admit it's not always easy however...  For this last page I also did a lot of doodling.  I never do that usually but I got carried away creating these branches and leaves.

I hope you will be joining us and sharing what Optimism means to you.
