"...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."
Philippians 4:8
 
Each Day
 
Each day as I survey the sky,
And see a bird or cloud float by,
Or marvel at a beautiful sight,
With dazzling colors for my delight,
Or gaze upon a lovely rose,
While heavenly fragrance fills my nose,
Or feel the warm sun on my face,
I know God, in His mercy and grace,
Is whispering His love for me,
And thankful I will always be.

ART THERAPY

Art has been used for centuries as a healing tool. Modern medicine now recognizes the important role art can play in the healing process. The creation of art taps into individual strengths, and allows for the exploration and expression of thoughts and feelings.

The creative approach Art therapy uses creative activity to help patients resolve emotional conflicts, develop self-awareness, and increase self-esteem. Many people facing a serious illness have difficulty expressing their fears and emotions. The process of creating visual art followed by an attempt to understand its symbolic meaning can help patients deal with their hidden emotions. In addition, as Dr. Cassileth observes, "Patients take great pride in producing something that other people enjoy and value. It makes them feel very good about themselves.
