Anyhow, I’m about to take a several-day retreat, so no posts till next week. Bringing art supplies, but I may or may not maintain my practice while away, no promises!
Glad to hear you will give yourself permission not to paint or draw for a day or several. I understand the importance of « showing up » but it’s my belief that we also need breaks even from that to which we are most committed. I committed to eating an entirely plant based diet some years ago but I allow myself one day each year to eat pizza (!) just to prove to myself that I am not rigid, even though I do not believe we Americans should eat animal products, certainly not as much as we do. And I can’t say I do not thoroughly enjoy my annual pizza even if I go back to committed vegan diet the next day.
I Hope you have a great time in the mountains — whatever you do there!!!

Oh I love this story! And that it’s pizza, and that you choose to enjoy it. Thank you!
