April blog

It's springtime, we are all learning new things about ourselves; good and bad, during our own quarantines. We are finding new pathways to the things we need and want. We are resourceful. We are working hard and learning skills. I'm so proud of you for kicking today's ass! Keep it up, my friends.

With so much negativity in the world, what are you doing to stay positive? For me, photo editing, painting, brushing up on some skills, and figuring out a pivot I am planning for the future once things return to some sort of "normalcy." Reading is something I just haven't had the time or energy to focus on in the past, so I've picked up a couple of books to get back to things I really enjoyed with all this time on my hands. Beyond that, I'm trying to keep the mantra "the show must go on" in my mind. We can't stop, that's not how any of this works. So for better or worse, we keep trucking along. I was thinking today that we usually have something at the end of the day to look forward to, whether that be a beer on the couch in front of the TV or time to read a book before we fall asleep. As the days bleed from one into another, there is less reward for a day's work. Kind of a bummer, right? Well that doesn't seem right. I'm not going to make promises, because we all know how that works with me when I'm in a difficult mental spot... heh... so I'm going to do my best to post some new selfies on a regular basis to give ya something to look forward to. Would you enjoy that? Not a daily thing, but more of a relaxed, casual thing. :)

SO I am going to post more real-life stuff here. Selfies and self-portraiture. Maybe some educational posts? Is there something I do that you'd like me to teach?

For now, though, I'll admit that I'm running a bit low on new $10+ content. I'll have to buck up and shoot some produced self-portraiture sets if I can manage to not give into feeling low and lonely right now. I'm not alone in those feelings, and you make me feel like a loved one, so I want to ensure that I have beautiful things to give you.

How are you staying busy? What are your personal mantras to stay positive or find the strength to get out of bed?
