I’m a pen and paper kind of girl. I love the way writing feels and looks. Typing is cold and feels impersonal. For the majority of this challenge I was copying from my journal to this blog; I think I’m going to rewrite things from here on out.

It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon.

So it’s been a while. I’m dealing with quite a bit in my personal life including trying out a new therapist.

It was somewhat difficult to stick to the 10 minute time limit but working within specific parameters is something I want to get better at so this was a great exercise.
