This should be wallpaper Series – 2

Hello again. Last week, I drew a wallpaper sketch to brighten your day. Today, I thought I would share my offering with my friends at Dancing Elephants Press.

This time, I have drawn some shooting stars. They may never be wallpaper, but that’s OK. Just stare at them for a minute and imagine you are a shooting star sailing through the air happily and joyfully because you deserve to shine as bright as a star.

I hope you felt happier looking at these stars. Maybe you are wondering ‘How will you be a star today?’ Well, I think you already are. But, it won’t hurt to shine even brighter.

The story below by Suma Narayan is so funny. I know when younger, I sat in restaurants envious of the table decor of my neighbours too:
