I’m like Tom, a visual thinker, so both of these remind me that
The quality of our lives depends on how we focus our energy and our attention.
The doodle on the left represents life as a garden and me as an active gardener.
Pulling the weeds, nurturing the flowers, delighting in watching things grow.
That means savoring the little joys in life and minimizing the distressing things — dealing with problems when come up and doing our best to not let them ruin our lives. Very much like James Clear’s advice yesterday,
This is one of the arts of living. It’s the art of enjoying the imperfect days. It’s the art of making all the moments count.
—James Clear
The sun and stairs in the doodle on the right represents an empowering question:
What is little step can I take right now to make myself happier?
Both doodles represent patience and persistence and the power of little actions in creating a well-lived life.
I like the idea of question what little steps can I take now to make myself happier. That’s a question I need to seriously ask myself.

I love the doodles!
🙂
Super cool doodles!
🙂
I have to hand it to you; I can’t even draw a stick man. And you have represented joy with just a few strokes!
🙂
I like your doodles and what they symbolize.

love the sunshine, and it makes sense to ask our selves something small we can do to be happier… now I am off to color another picture. ha ha
🙂
Wise words
🙂
…and for me, the quality of my life depends on where I focus my eyes.
Yes, I can tell by all your pictures. 🙂
I like the analogy of those stairs. Keep climbing!
🙂
The first few times I saw your weeding doodle I thought it was someone jumping for joy. No horizon line caused me to not realize it was kneeling until you told me so. That’s OK. I like both interpretations.
🙂
I love the doodles!!!

I think I need to start breathing slower and deeper.
