The big thing, apart from all the dark and bad stuff, was that I finally got to start my new tattoo. I figured that earned a right to a full page. It also took a little edge off the woe is me on the left side.

I find that most Project Life products out there are featuring wordart and images that concerns happy times. This is all good and well, but let's be honest here - who has a perfectly happy life 100% of the time? I think most people go through days that are a little less shiny and bright. For me, it is important to be brutally honest. After all, it's my life and my project. I need to include even tough times. That means using "happy" products in such a way that it still works. This week, I found it tricky. I had to work on the left side page off and on for several hours before I felt I could let it be. The upside to all this is that I'm quite certain that I will get lots more practice.
So, part of the changes that I need to make is spending less time in front of the computer. I was told by my doctor to do things that make me happy, but right now I can stand about 15 minutes before my brain feels like it is going to explode. That means that I will be making less digital art, and will also likely have less to share here. So if I end up being a little quiet for a while, you know why.
Linda … take care of yourself. I hope you start feeling better and things brighten up soon. I’m glad you have such a supportive husband to be with you during the good times and bad! Thinking of you and saying a prayer that your days brighten up!
