Two
of the artists in our painting group, Pieces of Eight, have inspired me this month. Jean
Thomas did a journal workshop in which I participated and I learned how
to make the handmade journal, above.
During
a recent doctor visit I was asked when a certain injury happened, when
pain recurred, etc. and I thought that it would be handy if all that was
written down in a certain place, with all symptoms, because who
remembers the dates of medical problems? Fay Picardi gave me a nice
little sketchbook for Christmas, and I decided that I would use that for
my medical history from here forward, and include sketches of my pain
locations. And of course, being me, I have already included a sketch of
my doctor. To give the book more importance and assure I would actually
use it, I used my newfound knowledge to fancy up the cover.

Unlike my travel journals, for this one I say the less entries, the better!
