Finding My Stress Reliever

Hello my hopefully cool, calm, and collected dearies.

I came home from work after sharing the day with someone who has opposite work views and ethics than I have and I wanted to pout.  I wish I could tell you that I let it go and learned the key to letting things roll off your back... but, alas, I locked myself in my home office, turned on a few (ok, several) episodes of a good mellow drama and started sketching.

As you can see from the sketch, its been awhile!  But I have to say it was therapeutic.  I was drawing with charcoal pencil and it does not erase well.  When you draw with charcoal, you can't be perfect - misplaced lines cannot be removed, only worked with or around.  I can now see the irony! However, I honestly felt better. (and I didn't even have to eat a block of cheese!)

I do not have a good lesson here; no how-to or instant remedy.  All I can say is find something you love and do it.  Try to focus on the good things in life instead of the things you cannot fix.  I hope you are blessed and you find the strength to make it through your next rough day.
