Many of us have experienced restrictions on movement and social contact during the pandemic. Talk about any restrictions that have especially affected you.
This is the sketchbook that I picked up back in 2017, ironically, at the same time Congress was trying to destroy the Affordable Care Act which would affect the health care of 20 million Americans...(at least). They were not successful in doing this. Yet. (SCOTUS will rule on the "legality" of the ACA in 2021.). During that anxious time, the book gave me an opportunity to practice looking, and drawing what I see. Which was soothing then, and still is. It's been a great little book to have now, to record my inside little world and observations, as our country nears 300,000 Covid deaths. (December, 13, 2020) I should have posted this as my first photo, so it's possible to see the actual sketchbook, before the sketches. But here it is now. Awfully glad I have it, and glad it breaks down sketches to just one per day. Although, I can do more than one per day.It's a helpful way to avoid reading the news also.

Talk about what brings you happiness these days.
What brings me happiness these days? Knowing that my children and grandchildren are doing okay, physically and mentally. Reading. I feel very sorry for people who don't like to read. There is no end to enjoyment from reading. Only God will be able to help me if I can't read any more. Also, eating. Also, good television series--mostly foreign series. Lately, from France, Finland, Wales. Walking outside. God will have to help me once again if I can't walk anymore. Actually, I have been looking at apartment size exercise bicycles, etc. Maybe that will work out in the winter and when it rains. Who knows? Also, talking to friends. Actually, only some friends. The insensitive, stupid, narcissistic ones make me feel worse. Choose your friends wisely. I haven't always done that and it is coming back to haunt me.
