Month: February 2021

After reading an article about the mental and physical health benefits of counting our blessings, I glued this heart together from thread, yarn, a button and various bits and pieces.

It’s been eleven months since most of us have travelled, so it’s fun to think about past vacations. My most exotic trip ever was to Thailand in 2014 with our son Andrew. We rode elephants in the jungle, and I sketched this at lunch to thank the mahout (elephant trainer). Later we made this astonishing stop at a family-run tiger zoo. The trainers hovered close by as Andrew and I each fed the six-month-old tiger a baby bottle of milk.

May you have a loving year ahead!
