Ever have days like Sisyphus?

Struggle to get the boulder up the mountain only to have it roll back down...

That's me getting out of a chair on a bad day 😂. So frustrating! Or when we were moving and I tried to pick up a box and dropped it right away only to have one of my daughters do it for me.

Erash that is my favorite mythological story. It is so perfect for ms isn't it? Thank you for sharing the gorgeous rendition of the story. So talented. Kelly ❤️

erash Did you draw this? Such talent!

I've been feeling like that for months now. This picture defines me so well.

erash Great drawing! You don't need paints.

Ty --I've been more fatigued lately--my trip to Naples, colonoscopy, and my adorable kittens have taken their toll. I haven't drawn much since I was a teen (my coping mechanism for teenage angst back then).

I love color but the prep and clean up is easier for a pencil than for paint. So it's fitting with my energy levels right now and I can do it sitting at my kitchen table (rather than my standing easel).

Do you draw in addition to your amazing painting?

[Iona60 in reply to erash]

erash No, I'd rather paint because of the color. But, I know what you mean about energy levels and setting up everything to paint. My go to project lately has been knitting. It takes no thought and no set up or clean up. I thought I had the ambition to paint and was starting to set up, when I ended up on a long phone call with my brother. Energy and ambition are gone now. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

I agree that is me trying to get out of the car the other day I try to get out of my sons car Which is a Lower car I hit my funny bone let me tell you there's nothing funny about a funnybone.

I remember we were at a rest stop and I saw this other gentlemen trying to get out of his car I said to him One, two,three, UP any said to me that's what I say so it's good to see that I'm not alone in the world getting out of the car I don't know where I came up with this. Bye for now

erash Funny, I have thought about this myth in connection with our little problem. "One must imagine Sisyphus happy" - Albert Camus. That's a line I have remembered since I read it many years ago. I questioned it then & still do.

Since I t's the journey not the destination that counts, I guess we keep at it--letting the boulder rest at the bottom of the mountain collects too much moss.

Oh my! I must think I'm a philosopher--Not! 😜
