I got two handouts in group. One made me angry. I drew doodles and notes all over it.
See what I added to the list? Number 13 is the step I'm on now.
Here is the other one. I actually see use in this one. I copied it into my journal. Get it?
Effective Journaling

– But don't limit yourself to journaling at this time, journal also at particularly tough times.
3) Know the important journaling topics:
– Target areas
– Thoughts
– Feelings
– Physical symptoms
– Behavior
4) Review your journal to look for patterns
5) Make journaling fun!
– Reward yourself
– Use fun resources: Newspaper clips; Ticket stubs; Poems, song lyrics, etc.
6) Also journal about the positives
– Especially things that you've learnedExample:
– Cog. B. styleSituation / Thought / Emotion / Response / Emotion

I drew this while living in Minneapolis in 1994, shortly before I went to Chile for 6 months.
This is a picture of Michelle, actually. It's somewhat "imagined" (which is to say, she wasn't posing for it) – but it's her.

I drew this while living in San Marino in 1992.

This remains my favorite of my own work in visual arts. I drew it in pastels from a photograph which I then "abstracted" (not sure what else you would call my distortions…). I guess 1992 was a rather productive period for me.

This is a picture I drew of the old Way family house in San Marino, California (the back property line was the Pasadena city limit). It was built in the 1890's (I think – I'm not actually sure). The house was torn down a few years later and the property subdivided.

I took several drawing classes during my time as an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota, in 1988. I happen to have scanned a few images from a sketch book. Here are two of them.

These pictures, above, are undated but they appear in a journal from the years 1983~1984, near other pages which bear dates from mid-August of 1983. Those entries are also in the same pen, so I have assumed these undated pictures date from that time and have thus posted them here on this date. UPDATE 2022-04-14: I have added this as one of my daily poems, #2082.]
