i try to listen to advice
i try to taken in what is given

this often means stepping outside my comfort zone;
and so
i tried to paint differently
because that is the only way to learn
and so
even though i couldn't have felt less like making a post
much less drawing a self portrait
i was given the opportunity to remember
that it is about making a poem...

and i remembered other things today;
like how grateful i am
(which turned that "feeling sorry for myself" tide)
and i remembered how powerful it can be to write
each day
5 things you are grateful for
and how that can change your life
and how
that can be a gift
how it doesn't have to be a chore;
how i don't have to do it with my left hand
just to get a little extra mileage out of it
