more than I can count

3 Positives:
push the envelope – don’t give up
looked over last year’s projects and yep, I liked what I saw for the most part
started the first “gather” project for 2026. It will likely be a year long project, but if we can find the currently missing answers, it will be worth it.

My Journey Notes:
Taking a step back on the weekends was a good choice. We’ll see if it’s something I’ll continue as a way of relaxing a little more, giving myself some grace and allowing a little more leeway on some other things. T and A picked up on the change — so it might just be what was needed to relieve some stress. Today, it’s back to what has been the normal daily routine. I’ve already checked my list for the morning and there are a couple of things that have to be checked off before spending time in the studio. We’re good, though. I’m looking forward to some studio time later today and time throughout the remainder of the week.

new shelf sitter penguin design cut and assembled — it’s cute but needs some changes in the file
quiet day overall – no nap, but I did relax for a little while with a book
Great family news: a nephew and his wife are expecting their first baby – we have a new grandma in the family!
