Big Z

Little Z prefers to be called Big Z now that she has reached the sagacious age of seven years. 

It's difficult to draw people who never sit still. She almost sits still when she's writing emails or playing video games. 

I think I might draw or write something every day of 2015. Wonder if I can. 

2014 has been the most creative year of my life. It seems to keep the despair at bay. I recommend making art. It's a good hobby. It works for me, at least. It's like meditating, only easier and with the same benefits afterward. Although I have no idea if it's the same for others. When I meditate, though, my thoughts go like,

....

....

....

"Oh, hey, I wasn't thinking there! Oh, dam, thinking about not thinking is a thought... Wonder how long I wasn't thinking for? Doh! That was a thought. Don't think. Don't think..., what time is it? @&$@ I'm the worst meditator ever!"

And when I'm drawing or painting, my thoughts go like, 

....

...

....

"Red there."

....

....

.....

.....

"Perspective off."

....

.....

"Better now."

"Blue..."

........

.....

....

....

.....

....

.....

"@$&&ing pen's out of ink..."

....

....

So, in summary, drawing is more meditative than meditating, for me, and I also sometimes have something worth saving in the end. So I think I'm going to make it a goal to do it a lot. 

How about you?
