I'm not an artist and I envy those that are.  Beautiful watercolors and pencil sketches are my weaknesses when it comes to art.  Still art is quite a flexible definition so when my challenge today was to make art, I spied my daughters felt markers, grabbed my sons sketch pad, and lay on the chaise doodling away.  Nothing in particular, nothing amazing, but I made my art for a good 30 minutes and do you know what?  I found happiness.  It was calming and took concentration which kept my mind free from wandering into other thoughts.  Added bonus was the kids quietly coloring next to me.  What a wonderfully simple task that made all the difference to how my night ended.
