You're so kind Rebecca. :) I appreciate you being here and reading along. It will be fun to see how I can improve on the runner drawing. HA! What new adventures are you up to?

Home-based adventures at the moment! I seem to be behind on so many things, including getting-out-there adventuring! 🤣

Well from the letter to Terry that I just caught up on, seems like you have plenty of adventuring going on at the home! :)

Love this poem! I always know that things will get better. I have been in distressing moods, but I have learned that things will get better! Thank you, Julie, for the reminders!

I love this poem! Sometimes the joy is not present when we begin. We push on anyways. We know it will come.

This drawing made me giggle. So cute!

It’s a McAfee Run. 😂

Thanks Mom! HA. :) I'm getting there...determined to draw a runner girl that isn't a stick figure. What do you mean a "McAfee Run." (sorry I'm lost?)

McAfee is a well known anti-virus you can put on your computer. May not apply to your poem at all. That’s where my mind went.

HA! Now I'm laughing. I was thinking that but I didn't get it. :) Thank you for the idea.

No stoppin’ me!

First attempt? A first attempt home run it seems. If I were to attempt drawing a human figure - anything - I’d still be deciding where to draw the first feature on the paper.

I like how your words today depict the mental - inside - aspect of your run. 👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for the title idea Gary. I like it. :) I appreciate the compliment...drawing a person is tricky. Will keep practicing. Have a terrific Thursday.

:) Thank you Gail. Drawing hands are super tricky. Will keep at it.

I've noticed there are artists who work to master realistic hands and others who "make hands that are hands to-their-preference-or-ability."

I think I lean towards the latter. I personally lack the energy for "perfect" replicas and that's okay. All kinds of kinds.

It sure can be fun figuring out what kind we are!

What a kind thought. Thank you Gail for this encouragement. I love this...it will be fun to see what kind is for me.
