Just take it one day at a time. I love your drawing of Java.
Your Java drawing is great! I wish I could draw that well!
Sounds like you had a great walk with Java, I love going on long walks like that. So relaxing and refreshing.
Surfacing is a good thing. I’m glad that you’re drawing again, and that you and Java got out for a nice hike, even without the water.
Sounds like you had a great walk! Glad to hear you are returning to things that you enjoy. Maybe it’s time to buy a sketchbook. Take it, and some water, out with you on your next adventure! 🙂
Good for you. thanks for clearing that up about Java btw. I thought she was also dealing with issues on the page. 🙂
Thanks you guys. I hope you all had a great weekend! I have a log of catching up to do on your blogs!
I’m so glad to hear that you can journal again…what a great feeling it must be!
