i started the morning organizing my files, getting ready to dive back into some writing projects and then drew in my journal a bit. i need to remember that drawing is a relaxing part of writing. i am tempted to buy some snowshoes, today. if i had them, i would already be outside--not in my pj's.  i'm going to sit down with dan's article this afternoon and read it carefully. i was so excited when it came out that i almost couldn't focus.
