So, it has been a good week for indulging myself in my hobbies. My anxiety has lulled a bit allowing me to give myself some freedom. That is what it comes down to though, isn't it? The freedom to make a mistake. This is where the support of a good friend or partner comes in. It isn't just a matter of receiving encouragement. It is about getting that freedom from them to make a blunder. It is then that the creative process and hobby becomes so therapuetic - when we are not worrying about the end result.

This then is what I have been able to find the motivation and freedom to do. I see mistakes but I also see something nice. The process mostly gave me a measure of joy this week.
