snowflakes

My Journey Notes:
I got a start on March’s ministering cards yesterday. Spent a good portion of the afternoon coloring the stamped images rather than coloring one and scanning to reprint (a previous default for a few images). It’s a good exercise and a reminder that there is self-improvement in the repetitive process of coloring these images. Grateful for the classes I took a few years ago that helped me hone some skills while using colored pencils. The blending part is very relaxing and the results I’m having make me feel good. And it feels especially good to fill the day on a snowy day. Hoping to finish up the remaining images with color today before working on the remaining elements for the cards.

you, yes, you!

3 Positives:
yesterday’s list completed
exceeded step goal for the day
matted new project I’d like to start cutting today

My Journey Notes:
This year has been an interesting one overall. Finding words and staying focused have been the biggest issues when looking back over the year. Lists have been my biggest saving grace this year. I’m grateful that I’ve had years of practice of using them and have been able to fine tune their use AND am able to give myself grace when I don’t complete everything on the list for the day.

filled with gratitude

3 Positives:
rest
good food
time in the studio

My Journey Notes:
Still not quite up to stuff yet… but I think there’s some improvement as far as stamina is concerned. I was able to work start to finish on a project – it took longer than it might have normally, but the project is complete and is checked off the list. I was able to fix dinner start to finish. Appreciated A stepping in and helping with the clean-up though. I was done in after eating. LOL Hoping today will be a bit better – and I can add a few more steps to the total for the day.
