{ joy }

Here are some of the things I have done recently. Ish. I don't really love any of them much. But sometimes it's good to share anyway.

I spent ages getting this ready and drawing it, and I was planning to paint it in watercolour, but then the paper I had stretched was not at all watercolour friendly...

There are about eighty-trillion things wrong with this but I drew it last night after a very long day and it was nice to do a different kind of looking and understanding...


And I don't know if I will ever get this the way I want it. But I have not given up yet.

Yesterday I was reminded, in a week that is busy and stressful and I am kind of just trying to get to the end... "This is the day which the Lord has made... rejoice and be glad in it!"

So I am trying to read in a joyful manner. Trying to see the days as a gift, no matter what I have to do in them. I hope I can learn, in amongst everything else this year, how to be joyful without trying.
