Positive Affirmations round 4 - Completed

Oooh I love the idea of this swap, although I’m probably more interested in more crass affirmations along the lines of “You got this, you bad*ss,” haha.

Also, @Magpie, I tend to tell myself a similar thing to the one you mentioned about wishing you started something now, and it’s something I’ve heard that’s basically, “the best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago; the second best time is now.” Whenever I think it’s too late to do something or learn something or fix something, I tell myself that the second best time is now!

(And another recent variation I heard was something along the lines of “we always think about going back in time to do one thing differently to change what is happening now; but we rarely think of doing one little thing differently now to change the future.”)

Anyway, I’m going to take a day or two to think about jumping in this one!

I have a t-shirt that says “When is now the best time to start”…it confuses people enough to ask me about it

Those are awesome.
This swap is a winner every year, I’ve been hoping you’d jump in because I know you’ll love it :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

You too Linda! Surely you’ve already got some fodder/painted bits that would be perfect with an added sentiment :kissing_heart:

I found a copy of Jenny Lawson’s YOU ARE HERE at the used book store and it is the PERFECT inspiration for this swap. Filled with doodly pictures to color, funny stories, random bits of snarky wisdom. Things like:

Her books are perennial faves in our house! Plus her blog is a good distraction and routinely makes me giggle.

She has an interesting looking art substack, whatever that is. I signed up for it anyhow!

Friends, 4 more days to sign up! I don’t know how the lineup could possibly get any more fabulous but y’all will make it happen I’m sure :kissing_heart:

I’m camping this weekend so I’ll be sorting Qs on the road. What a fun travel project pairing everyone up will be for me, ya!

Oh man, we’re so far up north that there’s no internet, lol.
We’re going to the library this aft, hopefully I’ll be able to copy/paste/print your Q’s to start sorting out pairs.
This is wild, being without any signal at all unless we drink 40 minutes into town!

Drinking in town might not be a bad idea! :wink:
