something I am grateful for today

 Naps: the freedom [and ability] to get some rest when I need it.

food for thought

I saw this quote on Mastodon a couple weeks ago that keeps coming back to me:

Art is not a sport. The point is not to be impressive at something difficult. It's expression, it's a way to focus on yourself, it's a way to get feelings out, it's a way to get ideas across. There is no cheating.
