I have not slept much in a couple of days, so I'm not feeling well. But I got an issue of Artful Blogging I ordered off Amazon, and it has reminded me to enjoy the beauty of my everyday life. Here is some tulle currently bunched up in my upstairs studio. I think it looks … Continue reading Daily Beauty

Photos
I took these photos the other day. This is my world. I am not happy today. It's a hard day. I have the shower curtain in the washing machine. I made lunch but got too depressed to finish it, which is probably good. I have a bunch of housework I need to do, and very … Continue reading Photos
Digital Art Journaling
I have been trying to create digital art journaling pages for therapeutic purposes. They are a blend of scrapbooking supplies, collage cut outs I've made, digital stickers, and textures added in Procreate. I am doing everything I can to get myself on an upswing. Nothing fancy or professional, but making them is helpful.
Hard Week
This week has been a rollercoaster, not to sound cliche. Life with a mood disorder often is. We finally got some sun this weekend, but we are back to another sheet of slate in the sky. It is draining me. Today I had to go to the doctor for an ekg, and then I treated … Continue reading Hard Week

I Feel Fragile
In the fictionalized biography of Elizabeth Winthrope titled "The Winthrope Woman," Elizabeth is speaking with her sister, Martha. Her sister tells her that she (Martha) is "cobweb that tears at a touch." I feel that way sometimes. It feels like I break so easily. I cried earlier today because of an upcoming move. I'm in … Continue reading I Feel Fragile
Comfy
My wheelchair with the seat cushion my husband bought for it is comfortable. Very. We've been at Busch Gardens since they opened this morning. My wonderful husband wheels me around to shady places to relax in while he and A ride the rides. She went on her first rollercoaster today! I'm so proud of her. … Continue reading Comfy
Big Cleaning Day
Although I was still sick, I was doing a little better, and I cleaned the house like crazy. Dusting, laundry, organizing, dishes, picking up, cleaning bathrooms etc. Disinfecting things felt good. I want to chase the sick out of the house. I got 150 zink photo paper stickers recently, and I have been printing my … Continue reading Big Cleaning Day
Radical, Sweet Softness
I have decided to embrace a radical softness. I want to be serene, gentle, and sweet. No more harboring anger or getting stressed out or being impatient. Obviously I don't mean the feminist form of radical softness. I don't believe in toxic masculinity for starters, and furthermore, this is all about femininity. I want to … Continue reading Radical, Sweet Softness
