I posted a piece on 2-20-19 about
self care, & what I've realized is that self care isn't just about things
like pacing myself and getting good sleep.
It's also about doing things for
enjoyment – even if it's only for a few minutes, whether it's a creative thing,
listening to something, a phone call, etc. The drawing above is about a few
minutes of enjoyment.
Christina told me once I could do
hard things, & I'm now starting to believe that. Not all the time, but I'm starting to feel
once again that I'm able. Having the various resources I need in order to make
progress is important, but ultimately it's still up to me to actually DO.
I don't know what life's going to
throw my way - life can be very unpredictable - I'm telling myself more &
more lately - "you are doing the best you can".
These last two pieces are just
drawings – I seem to have found a style of my own, though each piece is a
little bit different there are definitely similarities… Interesting to see what
has emerged.
