We’ll Take Care of It

The Hunter Museum in Chattanooga, TN has a children’s activity space where kids can participate in a hands-on exploration of art.  The room looks out over the river and is filled with colorful supplies and various examples of art styles and ideas.  

This past summer, H and I visited the museum and discovered that one of the projects available was making worry dolls.  Some cultures believe that these tiny creations take away your worries when placed under your pillow at night, and the simple act of creating them can help process emotions.  

Every inch of the windowsills was covered with the dolls, each one unique.  I left there without a care in the world, smiling from ear to ear.
