Upbeat Lines Make the Mood in New Abstract Drawing

Sometimes I think my art is a lot more upbeat than I am!  How do the swirls and lines in this new abstract drawing look so happy and energetic when I often don't feel that way these days?  In general people see an upbeat energy in my paintings and drawings even though I might not have felt that when I was making them. 

I am still having many sad moments since my husband, Adrian, died in May.  I am learning how to be "Lynne alone."  Thankfully, my art is way ahead of me in the process.
