I’ve been playing with doodling and zentangling a fair bit lately.

It is just so relaxing to sit in front of the tv coloring in randomly with black pen (or even better, white gel pen on black paper). I can just zone out – which is great, because I can’t doodle AND worry at the same time!

I’ve also been trying to practice a bit of mindfulness – trying to make a point of being in the moment and soaking up all it has to offer. (And I’ll admit that is hard unless I’m immersed in some artwork, as I find my email calling, and I am just a tad obsessive about it …)

So this was the message I wrote for myself – reminding myself not to miss this very moment … right now.
