Ive been told the hospital is busy and has a big backlog so not to expect the surgery for my breast cancer any time soon. Hope they get me in for surgery before Xmas.
Doing some art each day is good therapy, takes my mind off worries and into a happier place.
I figure most of us here use art that way, at least some of the time. Its such a nice peaceful way to spend time, isnt it?
Thank you for looking! 😍
