My Doodle for The Doodledayeo challenge - round 12
Star 🌟
Sheep 🐑
Town 🏩🏤🏣🏨🏫
Thanks @opheliafu for helping me get scrawling again.
The idea of a doodle is far less daunting than attempting to create art.
Art brings with it appraisal.
Even if only an internal dialogue of self criticism-
Is this good enough to call art?
To anyone else I would always say YES.
If you create you are an artist!
If you sing you are a singer!
If you write you are a writer!
But I have that little voice that tells me that a different set of rules apply to my own creations.
So I have doodled without judgement and have as a result enjoyed the process immensely.
Check out the challenge.
Create a doodle with the themes Star Sheep and Town.
Thank you for checking out my post. Steemit is my lifeline and I am so grateful to have this space.
awsome art <3
Thank you @rebecca80 you are always so sweet and encouraging.
you too <3
That is a doodle? O.O Meanwhile, here I am, who uses stick figures as... Well... Not a doodle xD Seriously, that looks fantastic!
I am so glad you commented here. Not for doodley reasons but because I flicked across to your posts.
I am really struggling through a new diagnosis and have had to learn to adjust to a life of a chronically ill person.
I used to do stuff like draw and work and parent. Or even go out occasionally.
I am sore and sorry after doodling but do glad I did as it meant I read your myasthenia gravis post. While my condition isn't just neuro, I have had ongoing neurological problems.
Thank you.
and welcome back to steemit.
I spotted your poetry posts too.
@robyneggs is still rolling the dice. She is also a curator of poetry if you include her tag onehumanbasket, for an up and steem.
This haiku contest by @moonsteem is a nice way to get back in the swing of it.

@hopehuggs runs, runaway Rhymes periodically and also has some cool curation projects happening.
A good one to keep an eye out for is the ode Challenge by @japhofin8or. It is on hiatus but I am going to start putting the pressure on for it's return. It's cool. So is his poetry, albeit often unrecognised, but awesome nonetheless.
And @terrycraft's steemit poetry contest is about to roll into round 10.

Sincerely, thank you for stopping by.

My hands and feet felt cold after reading you've been diagnosed. It's traumatic to have your world suddenly change. I can't even begin to imagine how you felt or are feeling. I'm so sorry you're in this boat as well. It's a long and constant process of adjusting. Rollercoaster of everything. Ah, is it weird if I say I feel like crying after reading about your situation? I hope you're doing much better, especially mentally and emotionally. Thank you for sharing your story. I know it can be difficult to say it out loud. At least it was for me. I acknowledged it but ignored it, if that makes sense.
Thank you for the contest suggestions. I'm not very good at poetry though. But I'll give it a shot, though it's difficult for me to sustain anything seeing as my disorder tend to randomly pull me back for hospital trips. I've had to abruptly leave months back because of it. And now, I posted because I'm always antsy during decembers. And it's been 9 years!
Thank you for the welcome and for checking my post. It's just sad you relate to it some way. I'm hoping you'll find your new normal easier and faster than I ever did. Be strong!
I have Ehlers danlos syndrome which for me is pain and fatigue. With dysautonomia and orthostatic intolerance, bone degeneration, joint instability dislocation, adrenal insufficiency, dural ecstasia, csf leaks, spinal stenosis, spine degeneration...
It is hard.
I feel guilty about not being available to my family and not working. It is extremely isolating for all of us.
Rollercoaster for sure.
I looked it up and I couldn't finish it. It's upsetting and I can't even begin to express how sorry I am that you have it. You shouldn't feel guilty. You didn't choose your situation, you didn't want it. It's a horrible, horrible situation and you need all your strength to be focused on getting through each day. The people who love you won't want you to feel guilty. It's wrong to expect you to be available when you can't. You have to take each time and situation according to what is within your capacity. And though feeling guilty can't be controlled or avoided at times, know that the people who love you will understand or try to understand. You're amazing. I have an even bigger appreciation for your art now <3
" I can't even begin to imagine how you felt or are feeling. " I'm reading your recent post, I think you have more insight than anyone I know into how it feels. My diagnosis is comorbid and still being worked out. Reading about your condition resonates so much with me. Any kind of activity impedes my swallowing?, throat? neck?, tmj? c spine?? Neck, face, shoulders,thorox! But no one gets it and no-one can offer help.
You get it. I know you do.
Ah, how highly you think of me :) .. Perhaps, to a degree, I know what you're feeling. But I've always felt that no one can truly know the exact extent of another's suffering. We can empathize with each other but I do know whenever we fall into despair, no one can feel how deeply we are in. I get what you're saying. Though I admit that sometimes, as selfish and as narrow-minded as it is, I feel that unless that someone is in my body, he/she will never truly know. Ah! I'm probably not making any sense.
Your creation of art is amazing!
Hey! Awesome doodle!
I've been more active. You might like some of my posts. I think you'll like my two new friends. :P
I love your energy in this piece. Plus I don't think I will ever look at a rain cloud in the same way again!
Doodle on!
