It’s already Sunday. How can I keep up at this pace? At some point I *WILL* find a remote control whose pause button works on time. As soon as I pause time, I will grab a nice soft blanket, a pillow and my critters and take the universe’s greatest nap *ever*!
I did nap today. I admit that because I haven’t napped for (what is for me) a long time. It felt good, Iggy snoring in my ear and we were all cuddly under a couple blankets.
You didn’t think I’d neglect my art journal, did you? (I took the nap after my art binge.) I grabbed a bunch of supplies and sat on the floor. I did a couple tiny things to other pages but mostly concentrated on the new trigger “Moment.” Lots of colored and watercolor pencils and fineliner. I tried to use a lot of browns and blues.
Then when I got to a stopping point I grabbed my sketchbook and doodled some robots. Robots are great. They can be any combination of basic shapes. Notice the subtle use of grey and pink marker. Lol that made me happy.
Mister Iggy Pup has decided its time for a bathroom break. I’m currently wearing two hoodies over a tshirt and a blanket wrapped around my granny-jogging pants wearing lower half. Goodness I am not ready for this time of year. Dark by 5pm and cold cold cold. Okay, its not even that cold yet! Oy.
Be well.

:) we were just learning about the true meaning of Sabbath in church yesterday, and your post has reminded me that I really want to try out the concept. The idea of a ‘day of rest’ seems so foreign these days – the weekend almost seems like more of a chance to catch up on different kinds of work (house work, yard work, grocery shopping, etc etc etc!) than a time to relax. But we learned that Sabbath is meant to be a time to rediscover delight (translation often loses the original meaning) and work can be anything but delightful. Rather than a ‘do nothing’ day, which can be boring and tedious, it’s meant to be a day of reconnecting with your spirituality, doing the things you love – like art! Or spending time amongst nature, or with friends.

Wonderful!
I’m sorry, but I’m one of those people that look forward to the cold! I can’t stand the heat and summer is a miserable time for me.
Love the robot page!!!

I’m really bizarre – I dislike hot temperatures and cold temperatures. My body doesn’t adjust to seasons changing. If I could find a low humidity but not dry oasis of 65-75 degree weather, I’d never leave :D

I dont mind the cold so much, but the darkness is really getting to me. Ive had issues with depression this time of year before (seems lots of ppl do) so Im hoping to keep my head above water this year. Working 3rd shift makes it like a thousand times worse though! Love your art :-) it really inspires me! I dont have the energy to do much these days so Im just sorta jotting down ideas for once all this overtime is done…

I REALLY like this page, Sara. Keep it going.

Love your journal page! And the robots are adorable.
I read what you commented about the perfect temperatures for you and amazingly I had just said almost the same thing to my husband….somewhere between 65 – 75 is just perfect for me. No hotter and no colder!
