I was up late last night because of pain issues.  Looking at the other art groups I have joined, I decided I wanted to start a new art group in the hopes that there can be an active list of folks who enjoy doing art to help themselves deal with issues in their lives as I do.

I know using art has helped me to cope with my intractable pain and also my mental helath disorders. In fact, I believe it helps me almost as much as taking medications to boost my happy neurotransmitters.

So in a flurry of activity in the wee hrs of the morning I set up the group. I am excited that we now have 18 members signed up.  I am looking forward to seeing many ideas posted, and some good discussions on art activities. And just knowing that this can be an online community of folks who enjoy art in some way or are using art to help themselves to heal as I am doing.

This new group will probably keep me busy, but it will be apleasant diversion from the stress I have going on in my life right now. I believe this group will be worth it once it takes off.

Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.
