1. Challenging fun at an all-day drawing workshop at the Arkansas Arts Center. Best exercise: when we paired off and simultaneously drew portraits of each other. I got to do one of my favorite things —draw a portrait of the back of someone's head — and my drawing partner drew an amazing portrait of me, partly representational, partly symbolic, both rendering me recognizable.
2. Sock weather!
3. A surprise box of gifts in the mail, including beautiful driftwood and wondrous-smelling soap, and a card with handwritten words on it.
4. Roast chicken and root vegetables, and the aromatherapy of its whole-house incense.
5. A good nudge, and the blessing of having several folks in my life whose nudges and cautions I appreciate, which goes by the name accountability nowadays.
And it bears repeating: sock weather!
What was swell about your day?
I have been thinking about that drawing and am so glad to see I preserved it here. -lb
