Rest your eyes when you can

Mental Health Mantra 60/365 Dog Mantra  

and here we are ... Day 60 of 365.

I decided after much deliberation I was going to focus on DOGS in March.

For those of your who know me well - this is NO surprise. Except I have never dedicated time to drawing dogs, so I am actually scared and excited all rolled into one. I have done a few but not a consistent practice - this will be interesting. 

I was apprehensive sitting down this morning.

I knew that obviously I was going to start with my two Jack Russells, here we have Luna first.  It's her birthday month too so how cool she will be turning 8 in March in the month of Julia's Dog Mantras.

The idea for this as I am pulling together drawings of dogs and their mantras, I will focus on what that mantra is for each dog - in a communicating type of way (have I told you that I communicate with animals?)

This is Luna and Luna's mantra is 'Rest your eyes, when you can'

This girl knows how to do that. She takes every opportunity to rest her eyes.  

I followed suit today as this afternoon, I was drained. 

I rested my eyes and she was with me, resting hers!

There is alot to be said for 'resting our eyes' it means, turn away from anything that is draining you. Turn it off, step back, step in. What ever it is.... let's take Luna's mantra as a nudge.

Keep shining
