quick update

Posted on | May 10, 2007 | 4 Comments

I’m still rather weak, but I’m starting to come back to life here. I was actually able to sit in the studio for a few hours this morning and I did some journaling until the exhaustion hit again… I had this picture in my head of a line drawing with text around it. I started the line drawing last evening – first time I’ve picked up anything since my treatment on Monday. And I added the text today. I wrote about this week’s experience and how I need to just anticipate that the week of treatment I won’t have energy. I won’t be “with it” and I need to learn to be OK with that. I have not photographed the image, though, since that requires getting up off the couch. I’ll post that when I can.

I’ve also picked up The Artist’s Way. I’ve tried to do it before, but I think I’m ready to really do it. I have never gotten past the second week before, but I’ve joined a group that is going through it. Maybe if I’m not trying alone it will be better… I’ll let you all know my progress. Since I can’t do much right now, reading the beginning chapters took most of the day. I hope to work on the first exercises this weekend.

Oh so tired now. Thanks for the notes of support. I really appreciate it. More soon…

    Glad to hear your feeling a little bit better Fran. I didn’t realize that you had joined the Muse group, looking forward to working with you in that group :)

    **sending good thoughts and healing vibes your way***

    i loved the artist’s way (i’m going to lead a live group this summer!) and i think it’s so much easier to do with a group (online or in person). i hope it’s a wonderful experience for you!

    Fran – {{{{{HUGS and Prayers}}}}}}}}} coming your way for your healing and strength. I discovered your blog through CaC and now I am interested in finding out more about the Artist’s Way. Think I might like to give it a try.

    If you are up to it, I’ve tagged you, so when you have a minute take a peek at my blog and join the fun! Let me know if you aren’t up to it right now . . . . I just want to discover new friends and this is a great way to do it. Nina
