Wednesday Walk

Hola Galeras,

The walk was nice. I went to the park and collected my thoughts from a recent meeting. Mostly, we talked about art school and if it was worth it. I didn’t feel like I needed it so much, but I did learn a lot from my new friends. So it’s a mixed bag of sorts.

Starting the week

Hola Galeras,

Last week before the end of my 43s. I see a vast ocean of time and a man in a boat pushing back to water out. I’m honestly not sure how to feel about any of it. 43 was a lot, but not all bad. Good moments live in me too. I am free of so many things now. The weight of the condo is gone. Out one window into another.

Check in

Hola Galeras,

This week I plan to do a lot of things.

• Plan the book out

• shoot and edit videos

• work on Patreon extras

I think mostly I’m in my own head about starting to finish the book. I’m still not sure what has stopped me from just putting it out.

Journeys have given my a freedom in my mind to free up some space for important things.

Q and a

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

Hola Galeras,

I think about this so much. I’m super productive but I do burn out too. It’s natural. I read a lot all the time. So much self help and fictional books. I think it helps my mind expand. I feel like being constantly thinking is better than being constantly doing. It’s a war nonetheless. I’m as I say “always making”. So I get very depressed when I take time off but I know it’s easy to get brain fog when I over do it. The rule is for every painting I finish I take a day off. That could mean video games, books, walks, taking photos and watching movies with Alec and the cats. It’s hard but necessary.

I’ve broken too often to not take breaks.

Painter and tom show

Hola Galeras,

The live shows are back again. Tom and I had a few moments to share.

Enjoy

We got this.

Weekend roundup

Hola galeras,

Busy bees buzzing in the darkness.

I made a keychain if you haven’t heard.

Also still trying to find a stopping point with this.
