This week was a strange week to say the least. It started well and i felt great and hopeful that the weekend was going to be awesome with no rain and mildly temperate temperatures. For the most part it was. I had a wonderful time drawing folks and seeing families enjoy the beginning of their spring vacation. I drew a few people but not as many as i thought i would for what was considered a very busy time of the year. Everyone i saw and spoke to seemed happy and joyful.
I could feel a growing uneasiness in some of my friends and neighbors. A real sense of uncertainty began to rise in my mind. I found myself eating healthy and buying small containers of hand sanitizer. I know this blog is supposed to be about my experience coming out of the military into a new life and a new beginning. Its just hard trying to find the positive and a good outlook in a time like this. The joy in my clients faces after drawing them inspires me though. Hopefully one day soon I can begin again to enjoy those faces. Hopefully it doesn’t go on very long.
