Ocean waves releave psychological pain of Schizoaffective and Bipolar Disorder
I called this oil painting I painted, ‘The Storms of Life.’ It appears in the month of July on my calendar of the year 2015. Every year in December, I make a calendar of my oil paintings. I was unaware of what events would take place in my world, in the draining hot summer of this month. I was faced with many challenges, meagerly working out problems in my family, sickness of a good friend and death of a dear friend’s daughter. Crisis’s all over the earth. The problems were stormy, like the waves I painted on the ocean, but I used my tools and was able to conquer the stress that brought on the psychological pain. I healed by writing, spoke my mind when I thought I was smart and I couldn’t hold it in any longer, decided not to let things build, and took advantage of my sense of humor. It was a coincidence, I should put ‘The Storms of Life’ in the month of July of my 2015 calendar when I made the calendar in 2014. I hadn’t planned to perceive the tragedies that brought on the storms of life, but I lived through them. Thank you friends for being there for me and for emailing your stories and giving your support to me. Sherry
