The delight of journals

I was looking through old journals and found this sketch. I've
started drawing again most days in my journal, as well as writing
2 or 3 pages.  It is true that writing the journal somehow makes it
easier to be creative.  And a simple drawing once a day keeps my
mind happy.  I didn't get to paint very much today, but I did plan
what I'll do tomorrow.  

What I like about the drawing is that I think one of my best 
practices for the past few years (maybe a lot more, check out the
journals in my book shelves)  has been to write in a journal
for three pages, or two pages, with a drawing. If I work on that
with my first coffee I feel like I've done something like art,
and then I can enjoy the rest of the day, crossing that off my to do
list.

Have a loving your life day.
