WHAT’S ON YOUR LIST?

I sat in the sunshine this morning with some coloured crayons and block of drawing paper and made my list of what I would like more of and what I would like less of in 2025! I don’t think I’ve used coloured crayons (pastels) since circa 1980… I’ve signed up for a drawing course with Wendy MacNaughton on Substack, because it’s good to do more and more creative things, and I used to draw a lot when I was younger (I didn’t write “young”!). It was fun to sit in the sunshine and doodle and think about what I’d like more of this year. I almost wrote “weight” in the Less section, but abstained because, I can’t control everything because of the medication I have to take.

Maybe you’d like to do this too? Apart from being fun to play with colour and attempt to draw bougainvillea around the page, it was an interesting exercise, and not as obvious as it seems. I had to think about it a little. I’ll probably come up with many other things and make more specific lists…And who know, I might start drawing and even painting again! Illustrating my own poems would be fun….!!

Funny detail: I’d forgotten the satisfactory feel of using a good eraser!! Omg! Bliss…

Tell me about your list! Come on! It’s not like making NY resolutions, it’s just listening and paying attention.

Lots of love
