Father's Day, honouring fathers, meapp memo, meapp message

 

Recognised throughout many nations;

celebrated primarily during the month of June

(although the date may vary from country to country)-

Father’s Day

was established to honour men who parent their children

unceasingly, selflessly, wholeheartedly:

 

Those who are engaged

Those who love

Those who are present

 

There from the start, there throughout.

 

 

 

…

Men,

Happy Father’s Day!

(21 June 2015)

Note to self: Take a break! Create a work of desktop art

abstract art, brain rest and recharge, meapp memo, work breaks, work productivity

Studies indicate that in order to maximise productivity,

intermittent 10 -15 minute breaks

should be scheduled into the work day.

These breaks allow the brain to rest,  recharge

and essentially get ‘revved-up ready’ for the next

interval of concentrated / focused work assignments.

…

In order to be effective, these breaks should include an activity

which is totally non-work related, pleasant and enjoyable:

going for a walk, reading literature/fun magazine article, listening to music

and may I suggest-  creating a work of abstract art.

…

Be inspired!

Release your inner Joan Mitchell

(American abstract expressionist painter)

Express your contemplative Wassily Kandinsky

(Russian abstract artist / art theorist)

(images / citation from wassily-kandinsky.org):

“In his seminal 1912 publication Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Wasily Kandinsky advocated an art that could move beyond imitation of the physical world, inspiring, as he put it, “vibrations in the soul.”
