Welcome to Week 3 of the March Art Journaling Challenge. Our word prompt for March is balance. One of my favorite quotes about balance is "Life is a balance of holding on and letting go." - Rumi This quote sure does ring true for my life right now. Every day seems to bring ups and downs, highs and lows. Personally, I'm striving to find just a little bit of balance in my hour by hour, day by day life right now. It's one day at a time, putting one foot in front the other one, at times.
Here's another quote that seems to speak to me about my life right now: "You have to find balance. You have to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground and not get swept away by the highs or lows." - Unknown There's that "highs and lows" thing again - that seems to my life right now.
As a journaling prompt, you might want to think about "What does balance mean to you in the context of your life right now?"
I decided to use the Divided Template again this month because I'm still taking those "baby steps" and this helped me last month, by letting me break it down into four parts. If you don't have the Divided Template, courtesy of Ona @wombat146 and would like to have it, you can get it here at Dropbox. Just a reminder: using the template is NOT a requirement, it's simply an option.
Here's my page for Week 3. I used the quote " Life is a balance of holding on and letting go." - Rumi As far as the journaling prompt: "What does balance mean to you in the context of your life right now?" I'm trying to regain my balance and I used the silhouette of the Yoga pose, almost off the page as signifying my trying to regain balance. It's a constant battle, but one that I think I'll master.
