I pushed too hard... may have acquired a cold, or maybe I am just shaky from irregular sleep and food in the last several weeks. I quit rushing to finish making a set of intended gifts. Switched gears to simple but authentic love notes instead. As in "I love you." That's all. I even gave up on handmade cards... I did print each envelope in its own design, using a simple hand-carved eraser stamp I made over a decade ago. (One envelope was made by Mommy years ago from an advertisement.) Tied them in real fabric ribbon. Stayed home from Mom's, and from a favorite party. My voice can't handle singing even if I were feeling stronger... and **not** singing is too hard. Going to bed early is on the agenda. #tootired #loveisart #relationshipisart #loveisagoodenoughgift #restingisessential #slowingitdown #selfcareishardsometimes #artasaneverydayattitude https://www.instagram.com/p/B6UJ6qwpe_R/?igshid=s55q8cugks8b
