it's a beautiful day outside and all I can think about is lying on the beach with you. but of course I have a long list of things to do, places to go, and obligations to fulfill. ugh. ⠀ .⠀ ⠀ In reality, the beach will have to wait, but in my heart I'm there; I'm there with you listening to the crashing waves, feeling the warm sand between my toes, and basking in the sun. oh how the thought warms my heart and fills my soul with joy. that will have to be enough to help me make it through the day. ...⠀ ⠀ have a great weekend! Hope you all find some down time to do your favorite thing. is it lying on the beach? is it walking in the woods or laying on the couch? let me know below and tag someone who you wish to spend the day with. ⠀ ⠀ cheers! ❤️☀️⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #artist #wordpusher #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #drawdrawdraw #inspiredaily #sharelove #mentalhealthquotes #beachdaysarethebestdays #lovematters #lovelovelove #summerdreaming #summertime🌞 #holdinghands #penartwork

The other night I went to a party thrown by a parent of one of my son's friends. I sort of knew people, but didn't really know them. People at the party--mostly old friends who had known each other forever-- were laughing and having a good time and I longed to be back in a place where I had known people forever. Being the new person sucks at this point because most people don't want new friends. I regularly fight the urge to stay in bed and not try. But somewhere along the way I stopped sabotaging myself, took a deep breath, and began to make an effort. I found that most people are taken aback by friendliness, but some aren't. Some people are comfortable enough in their own skin and curious enough to let new people in their lives. These are the people I am drawn to, maybe it's survival or maybe it's because I like people who see life as a continuous opportunity to learn and to grow. I am fuelled by good conversation with new people and thrilled with the chance to connect with new friends--but on the flip side, I am super bummed when conversations die at the 'hi, I'm new' statement. I'm still learning to conquer that nasty, insecure tiny voice from 'little e', as I call her, who is stuck at the awkward 12 year old stage of feeling unlikeable, unfriendable, and just plain old socially stupid.⠀ .⠀ so today, I'd like to challenge you to say hello to someone you don't know. be curious and ask them who they are or what they do for fun. Maybe, you'll be surprised and find a new friend that will open up new worlds for you, or maybe you'll be disappointed. but the truth is, even if it goes nowhere, at least you tried, and that is the most important thing to remember.⠀ 💕❤️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #life #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #artist #wordpusher #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #getoutthere #helpingothers #outofthebox #adventurewaits #myartstyle #drawdrawdraw #makenewfriends #bebold #trying #mentalhealthisimportant #positivevibesonly💯#penartwork

Your weekend mantra👆⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ If anyone or anything interferes, go find a tree and sit under it, next to it, or in it so that you can soak in a little of nature's awesome restorative energy. I guarantee if you let yourself believe in it, you will feel better. ⠀ ⠀ Love and life is a gift. Under all its brutalness and ugliness both are quite beautiful. 🙏🏻❤️💕⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #cartoon #drawing #cartoonist #cartoonart #cartoony #sketchbook #illustration #relationshipquotes #positivenergy #lovenotes #lovequotes #wordpusher #blackandwhiteart #positivevibesonly💯 #drawingaday #cartoonartist #TNYcartoons #penart #myartstyle #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthadvocate #leanonme #drawdrawdraw #mentalhealthmatters #loveisintheair #lovelovelove❤️ #penartwork #keepitsimple
