As I was strolling down Amazon Lane one day, I saw a book about keeping a daily drawing journal as a means of tracking one's life. I don't draw. I kept being attracted to the book and finally got the Kindle version.
You'd think I have enough on my plate what with writing a daily blog, a weekly Wednesday Inspiration, putting out a new publication weekly, leading a twice monthly Ananda meditation/study group, working with my mentoring clients, writing some new books, starting a new senior support group in Monroe, crocheting and keeping up with some television shows our household enjoys. Why on earth add one more thing. I honestly don't know.
A few days ago, I pulled out a blank journal and some pencils and began to record my day. Not all of it, mind you, just some significant things that happened. My drawing journal is nothing like the woman's who wrote the book. I guess she's really popular on Instagram: Samantha Dion Baker. She's also very talented.
We'll see where this goes. Right now, I'm enjoying expressing myself in a non-verbal manner. Maybe someday I'll get brave enough to share some of the pages. Right now, however, you can't see it. It's for my eyes only. You might want to give it a try, especially if you're a person who works with words a lot like I do. There's something about switching the brain into drawing mode that I'm enjoying. We'll see how it goes.
