Thankyou beautiful @tyme 

I wanted to reassure anyone reading along, that I am ok.

I don't like to post 'complaining" stories. I understand that our thoughts are powerful.

But, I also need to vent.

I hope people can skip over any posts I write that made them feel sad. Honestly, the important thing is for me to get things out & not feel totally isolated.

I didn't sh or do anything unordinary last night. I stayed up until 3am painting.

I don't know anything about how to use watercolour. I bought water colour pens from A mazon.

I have noticed that, to make ink blend nicely, requires slow movement, unlike other mediums. 

I think that is why I am liking it so much. It forces me to slow down.

I cannot make beautiful water colour drawings like professionals. I don't want to learn, techniques on you tube. I want to let myself create without knowing if I'm right or wrong. 

I am ok, except I have lots of brain fog  🏧 . I feels yuck & not nice. 

I found a way to do the cat litters using a roll of paper towels I found. I usually lay down newspaper before I put litter in. Paper towels works ok.

I have telehealth GP this afternoon.

The body, trauma, fear sensations make me sad. It makes me feel very disabled..

& I am. It is difficult to accept.

I have lots of brilliant attributes about me too❤️🦄

It means so much that you replied to me.

It certainly cannot be easy, reading sad story, after sad story. 

All of you deserve huge medals & pay rises & whatever support is needed, for the selfless work you do.

You are saving peoples lives.

As are all of the long time members. 

A person, on the other end. It means everything.

And I like the silly jokes that make me smile.

I don't even mind the poetry😙

Thankyou so much @tyme @TAB @StuF & everyone. I appreciate you all, so much.

I will add last night's painting - needs more, lacking. I get a knowing when they are finished.

Thankyou❤️

P.S HUGS TY

Nice @StanD ,

How'd you make that? Is it using oil pastels?

Hiya @StanD 

As I'm sure has been said- vent away! If it helps you, go for it. No one is compelled to read it.

I like the artworks...and especially that you just want to learn as you go, no tutorials etc. I think that's the most liberating way to learn...

I hope the GP this arvo was good.

I know I don't write you as much as I should, but I always want to know what's going on, whenever you want to share
