Great idea for a challenge! I love it. My page is a deep dive into my love of cruise ships. You can read my journaling on my post.

Here's my take on this challenge. I could say more about the healing properties of being in nature, but most of it is about the silence. In the stillness, in the quiet, you find answers.

Hi Everyone...

Another cool! challenge...I really like the color blue and that color does especially make one think of water...but I really didn't have any water photos...so I went in a different direction...Blue,to me,also means...deep feelings...of perhaps sadness or introspection about something that is deeply personal to me...and I had the perfect photos also...I took a series of photos of me awhile ago in June to show how far I had become personally...and it was a fun experience for me...as,I really don't like taking pics of myself...but I am slowly starting to take more personal photos,especially now that I am feeling stronger with my health issues and personally,too...

So,the layout is a bit of introspection about my journey through grief and my current feelings and how I visualized them with 2 pics of myself and a lot of WA to explain the feelings enclosed within the theme I am scrapping about...It's ultimately about moving forward in my new life and still asking myself the questions that are on my mind...like where to start and to find hope in each day...but it is also about finding the new me and trying to heal somehow from the past and also realizing that these things take time and slow progress is better than no progress...and how these things have changed me as a person...and how far I have come in just the last few months...in working towards my positive goals for healing and moving forward...I feel that I am starting to enjoy things much more than I had in a very long time and finding ways to be more comfortable with my new self...and not as hard on myself either...I would call all of this progress in the right direction...as,I often wondered if I would ever start to feel anything besides sadness,pain and crippling grief...And also very important to m...is to feel "freedom" from these "shackles" as I have come to call these things...Feeling "free" emotionally...is a relatively new concept for me...but one that I hope to continue to embrace...as I move forward in my healing journey...

*And since this challenge is called "Deep Dive"...I just had to add some blue/water/sea related elements...like blue starfishes,round brads with blue anchors on them and WA that says : Seas The Day"...And I also included some journaling,as per the rules of this challenge...Written in white font and somewhat integrated in the page...but not completely hidden either...
