Drawing Breath and Sighing with Relief





Am I calm because I draw or do I draw because I'm calm or is the whole thing a a cover up for nerves? No matter why, it sure keeps me contained and focused. Luckily, this latest trip to the E.R. helped prevent a bigger crisis and all is well – or will be soon!

My family knows if you nap while I'm around chances are you're in my book. I'd just rather not do any more in emergency rooms

  4. Hope everyone is stabile and well taken care of. I agree that drawing is calming. A sketchbook, curiousity and sense of humor will surely help us get through most anything. Best wishes (via Flickr)

  11. Well I hope you don't have to draw your family or anyone else in an emergency room anytime soon either! You sketch well though as I see with a few lines you are able to express a lot.
