I sit in my cubicle and I want to draw... [View all]

but I can't.

I have to do my job and pay the bills.

I have been at my soul sucking job now for 14 years all for health care.

I go home at night, and when I finish all my chores and the other flotsam and jetsam that needs taking care of, it's then and only then I have a few minutes to draw.

I'm so very thankful for those few minutes.

It's meditative for me.

Anyone else relate to this?
