You’re doing great! Too bad about your wrist! Remember the obstacle is the path. You are stronger and smarter than you know. You can figure out how to keep going every day because you are already. Remember to stop and breathe and enjoy the beauty around you. Love what you’re doing. Positive thoughts only. 🧡🧡🧡

I'm loving the sketches! Substack will be here when you have the time to return. The exact light on the tree branches and sea will not. Be there. We will wait. So srry about your wrist.

Beautiful sketches, Dottie. And—you are amazingly resilient, working with a broken arm.

Thank you Linda. Resilience seems to be the key to everything doesn't it?

Dottie, I'm so sorry to hear about your fall! I've broken my right arm/wrist twice as an adult and I know the frustration of trying to compensate with my left hand and right fingers. You'll get through this and finish your work and it will be amazing because you have put in all the work, and honestly, it's already amazing! Keeping up with Substack is its own work, too! I think the notes idea is a good idea. Good luck! You've got this!
