My own definition is having totally lost control of your own thoughts.
Do you have your own definition?

Awsome, thank you
Love your little painting - it's beautiful! And I know Melody's definition well. So true. I think sometimes what we call "insanity" is just the chaotic beginning of seeing things differently, of a whole new life... Hugs, Silke
Thanks Kim and Silke :) Yes chaos is a good desciption. Chaos might be needed before thing settle down to a new way? Thankyou!
After seeing the title of this post my computer wouldn't scroll down and got be worried that maybe you had had enough. I am glad all is well after all. This is a slight deviation from your usual work. The colours and situation work well together (always like pale pink and green).
Wonderful picture :)
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
Thanks Bella, this is a sketchbook page, not the sort of thing I exhibit. Having said that, I used to worry that my paintings deviated from eachother but I don't any more, I just do what I do and let the paintings be what they are. :)
Thanks Bee! :)
beautiful little painting! love the patterning!
Thankyou Miss Stitch! :)
i like this post - i agree chaos might be needed in order to see things in a new light...but it can get to you! Thanks for sharing this today!
This sleeping beauty relaxes me when I look at her sleeping..,,I have the saying on my pinboard too...you can´t keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome...so true. Happy Thursday evening to you.
I like this painting...
Insanity is not being who you really are, not being true to yourself.

Thanks Heather, except the chaos, it won't last ;o)
Thanks Cynnie, the colours are restful ones, nurturing and protecting. :)
Thanks Trish, Being true to ourselves is harder than it sounds, especially when you have a family to look after. I find I put myself last and then forget who I am sometimes. :)
Unfortunately I could come up with a few . . .
