Still recovering

Journal Sketch

Dealing with a super sore back today, and working on recovering. The heating
bag is my constant companion and seems to work.  I tried going for a walk,
and that didn't work.  At least I did see the exceptionally beautiful day, before
we abruptly turned around, and I went back to bed.

I have been doing my journal pages -- three pages a day -- which helps to get
me organized, plus trying to stay off my devices when possible, actual 
writing helps.  I haven't done much drawing in my journal lately, but I've done
the writing.  Here's what I said in a former post:

"Writing 2 or 3 pages in a journal as I drink my morning coffees (3), and do a quick
sketch, gets my day off to a good start. So I'm trying to keep going. 

I like this sketch of a guy sitting in a café in Paris, because he looks so Parisian --
the elegant scarf, tied the way only Parisian men seem to be able to achieve. And
even his winter coat -- what you can see -- is an elegant wool trench coat. Thinking
about Paris always makes me happy." 

It always makes me and Steven happy too.And surely happiness is part of healing
right? 

Have a loving your life day.
