Day 3 generosity

Generosity in my expirence is containing and guiding people through a mental health crisis. Their worlds are unimaginable for most. The trauma, delusions, self harm and attacks from others leave scars the are often intangible. I can't fix things but I can be their ally, confidant and provide the structure and hard limits that are required to start the road to recovering and living a meaningful life. Providing this safe healing presence allows them to feel respected and hopefully find contact with reality. There's more I could say but I have to go to work.

Effulgence

As my dog ages she is naturally less playful. Thankfully, she still has these bursts of just radiant joy and splendor. She will suddenly demand a serious game of fetch chasing after the ball as if it's an undiscovered comet that she must show the world.

Comfort

Abstract words illustrated. Comfort in my life is feeling that I'm composed, together and in control of myself and my actions.  There is a lot of ambiguity in my life, but I find comfort in working to control myself and my actions in hope of guiding the outcomes of situations around me.

Light bulb

After gaining new tools, I'm feeling a bit more controlled. The photos are the stages of completion.

The crow!

 My first crow has clearly been well fed.

Upside down tree

Long day of work and I return to discover the contractors were sloppy. White paint spray all over my stuff. How do you forget to cover things? Not to mention a bunch of details that they missed. Guessing this won't be done any time soon.

Still playing catch up, upside down tree using right hand for the right side, left for the left. First one is really ugly. Going to try another.

Left handed tree day two

Fingers, sifter (requires both hands), business card and a knitting needle.
