What Did You Do For You Today???

I did something creative. I haven't done this in a while and it felt strange. My best friend gave me an encaustic starter set as a Christmas present - and I tried it out today. It was a strange feeling to ....show my feelings and my inside like this. I usually write but I haven't found the right words for weeks. I feel really shaken now...and I don't know if it's positive or negative. I haven't felt that much movement in myself for months. It was something without a goal, I just did for myself - I'm not used to this anymore.

I produced two pictures and I want to share them with you, the people of the forum - because you made me do this again (you reminded me of encaustic, you made me think about doing something for me again and you gave me the courage and the feeling that someone cares)....thank you, all of you.

Stocked up on tons of veggies and chopped it all up to keep on hand for when I feel like binging or as a quick meal. Gave my service animals catnip and played with them for a long time. Napped after a long walk. Taking time to heal, I get inpatient with myself. Started a paint by number...I usually paint freehand. But, it is calming to the mind to concentrate on color. Thanks everyone for sharing your wellness techniques. Taking care of me seems overwhelming at time. Being here I don't feel like the oddball out. WE are all trying to manage our disorder in ways that help us. This thread is awesome!!
