(1) Silver Sneakers. I finally had a chance to tune into it and I love it. It gives us a good cardio workout as well as exercising all parts of our body. And it’s fun. Nalani is still teaching, so it was like going home. (Via Zoom.)
(2) My laundry bag backpack I ordered from Amazon. I always use a handrail when using stairs, and carrying a big laundry bag with one hand throws me off balance. I can now safely carry my laundry to the laundry room and back.
(3) Deciding to separate coloring from drawing. I’m trying to integrate more playing with colors into my life, and I decided to start with designs I can do quickly and easily. And not worry about how the finished product looks. Today I did a flower.
I’m not going to try drawing everyday, just when the mood strikes. Last night I played with a portrait of Tempi.
When the mood strikes I will do another one. Again with an attitude of curiosity and play, no judging the results. Just noticing. (Yes, there are at least three things that I am itching to change. They will have to wait.)
How did your day go?

So much to be thankful for.
God bless.
🙂
…I’m thankful that I woke up this morning.
🙂
I got a haircut and my hairdresser is such a nice lady. She always tells me what nice hair I have. It’s nice to get a compliment.
I took the dogs for a walk and there was no wind, so even though it was cool and wet, it didn’t feel cold.
🙂
You are good at art! Good tip on carrying laundry
I was pleased they actually made them. 🙂
That laundry backpack is a very good idea. Who knew? You! It’s best to enjoy yourself without judging what you do. Which I personally think you have done well.
Judging gets in the way of absorbing/learning.
The laundry backpack is a brilliant idea!
Also the concept of separating coloring from drawing. Freeing!
Grateful for this sunny fall morning! 🙂
I’m grateful for fall too. We finally had to turn on the heater yesterday,
so the drawing bug has bitten you since I last visited. I have draw many of those type flowers in procreate. I love drawing them. love Tempi so much and am not having much luck with drawing dogs.
The neat thing is we can pick and choose what works for us.
So far, so good! I’m delighting in the lower temps and humidity ….. and staying away from the television.
We haven’t had TV for years. 🙂
The Tempi sketch looks professional to me. And the flower is simple, yet beautiful. I love the color you chose. It would be lovely as the pattern for a tablecloth.
I like that color too. 🙂
Those are good thankfuls and cool art!
Thanks. 🙂
All great things to be thankful for. That laundry backpack looks very handy. Love your drawings and that is the perfect way to approach it. I think when we judge the results of what we do, it tends to take some of the joy out of it because we are always our own worst critic.
Yes!
Those 3 nice things to be thankful for.
Great job on drawing Tempi.
Have a nice weekend.
Thanks. 🙂
that my short term memory is intact – today Dawn officially turned 90 but the lady got jumbled with Thursday and the date – she finally understood that the 17th was her 90th
I know it’s not the 17th – but I was following on from the date
🙂
