My husband often says "none are burdened by self-control when walking into a bookstore." Lovely post and so true. We all take art for granted. Indeed, it's why art and science are sometimes linked in a phrase because both are everywhere in our lives, yet we rarely notice their presence.
Love your comment!!! Thank you!!! As I sit here recovering from covid I'm utilizing both the arts and sciences: words, art, music, medicines and I'm aware that having been fully vaccinated and boosted was a very good thing!! Thank you science! And thank you to the novelists and poets and musicians that will make my recovery as pleasant as possible!!
I knit. It is a great outlet for my ADHD and helps me focus on something positive if I’m having a hard day. I may only knit dishcloths, but it’s something.
Sue, I really do love your sketches so. I also really like what you write about community. Thanks for sharing your sketches. I’m offering this piece I wrote on the importance of art in community, in reciprocity. I hope you enjoy it. https://pocketfulofprose.substack.com/p/practicing-art-in-community
Thank you so much for your kind words! I read and enjoyed your newsletter very much!! I also commented, shared and subscribed!! Looking forward to more from you!! 💚
The first* thing I do every morning is make a cup of coffee, go up to the "upper studio" and work on the week's panda 'toons for up to an hour. If I get nothing else down that day, at least I've had that creative time.
* well, ya know, after a few other necessary things
I love the quote about the seeds. It's so life-affirming and empowering!! I'm sorry to hear that you ended up with Covid from your trip. I hope you feel better very soon.
Saving this post forever, for it contains so very many gems. Wonderful words and art, Sue - thank you.
So sorry for the positive Covid test! Covid paid a recent visit to our household, although somehow I dodged it. Sending healing vibes, air and sunshine your way to kick it into touch!
I'm so very glad you found my newsletter save worthy!!! Thank you for your kindness!! As I read your comment the sun actually popped out from behind a cloud!! Thanks for that!!! ☀️💚 Glad you've avoided covid, sorry any in your household had it - it's not fun. I'm grateful for the vaccines and boosters I have had!
One of the greater joys is discovering a used book shop that has a variety of books that tickle your fancy. Excellent post as always. And kick that Covid right between the Glycoprotein Spikes!
I find your sketches and stories quite adorable. Art that everyone can relate to. Thank you for exactly that Sue! And for the kind mention. 💓☕️ More chai, coffee and collaborations to come.

It's very definitely something!!! We all need things to do with our hands that also soothes and gives an outlet!!! Keep going!!
How generous and kind. I shared your newsletter with my daughter who also loves to sketch. 🌻
Oh good!!! Thank you for sharing with your daughter!!! I especially hope she'll see this piece of mine https://sueclancy.substack.com/p/thumb-birds-by-clancy
