Regrets are born when time is lost, buried beneath suffering and pain. Healing is found when time disappears, vanishing in the glow of creativity and wonder. I have been buried, but I hope to be found again. A monarch enjoying a sunny September in my garden. A moment of joy. #disability #photo

Hi friends! I'm still here. Working my way out of burnout, a car accident & a bad reaction to medication. Life can be really effing hard, but we continue on. Still doing a drawing a day & usually managing to get out of bed. How are you doing? #photography of a lovely day past #AuDHD #disability

I've been skirting the edge of complete burnout for a while now. Finding it hard to make art, write poems or even play or enjoy my garden. The world is wearing me down... Resistance is survival... Taking it day by day til I can laugh again. Until that time... ❤️ #disability #AuDHD #burnout #art

An imperfect garden is a lovely thing. An imperfect gardener is who I am. Like a plant plunked down in a strange place. To struggle, to grow, to fight for space. Don't know if we'll survive to next season. But we may bloom, we may spread, we may go to seed. We may get called a weed. #garden #poem

Thinking about the people I miss.... I spent the weekend working hard in my garden. Probably harder than my body wanted. But since I was in pain anyway (thanks chronic pain) at least I got something done. Here's a lovely tulip from my garden. Reward for my efforts. #Flower #Photography #Disability

A color photograph of the center of a tulip. The sunlight spotlighting the green and white stigma, and casting a shadow on the open petals which are white with a touch of pink.

This is about how I feel right now. I'm so exhausted. (... for so many reasons.) My cat Jellybean is so sweet. He sometimes gets seasonal allergies too.... and snores a bit when sleeping. His little pink tongue loves to just sit there tempting me to boop it. #cats #photography #disability

Color Photograph of a black cat sleeping up against a green pillow. His face is pressed into the pillow and his eyes are closed tight. Just the tip of his pink tongue is sticking out. One eye shows a little swelling from allergies.

I love a mutant tulip! A red one... even better! Trying to get into my garden as much as I can. Chronic pain can make that very hard, but I'd rather be with my crazy plants than in bed being bored. #tulip #flowers #garden #photography #disability #TulipTuesday #BloomScrolling

Color photograph of the center of a multi-petaled tulip. The flower is bright red, with many small petals instead of the usual large tulip petals. The center is yellow and black with white stamen.

Rough weekend for my health, but I finally managed to get out into the garden to do a little work & a little nature appreciation. Tulips in the full sun are intensely wonderful! * Wearing a red coat standing tall in the sunshine peace bringer of Spring * a late night #haiku for a tulip #flower

Color photograph of the center of a bright red tulip. The yellow triangle shaped pistil stands tall in the center surrounded by dark black stamen. The sun reflects off the shiny black inner circle of the petals, ringed by a golden yellow edge before becoming the bright red that dominates the bloom.

Super excited to have this Bloodroot pop up in my #garden One of my favorite native plants. I planned on buying one (they are usually sold out) now I don't have to! Came up in my Wild Ginger patch planted two years ago. What a sweet gift! It's done blooming now. #wildflower #photography #blossoms

Color photograph of a bloodroot plant. The flower has long white teardrop shaped petals with yellow stamen on the center. Green lobbed leaves cup the flower. One leaf opening has little sap droplets on it where the leaf was damaged. The sap is bright red, like blood.

I'm exhausted. It's nice to be able to look back on photo memories of sweet fun times. Here is an Easter memory from when my kids were still doing egg hunts. My sweet fluff named Seiss always loved to sit in the sun while every one else was running around. I think he had the right idea. #cats

It's late, I'm so tired the world is falling apart Hope, give me good news -- Late night exhaustion improv #Haiku An older "Tiny Drawing" from my daily journal series. I try to draw once a day. I don't always have the energy. It has turned into a sort of visual diary. #Poetry #Drawing #Art #AuDHD

A photograph of a small drawing still in its spiral pad. The drawing is black ink on off white paper. It is a face with eyes closed. Hash marks on the face show distress, exhaustion and pain. The area where the top of head hair would be is a series of marks, squiggles and hash marks expressing a chaotic state of mind. Below the drawing are the words, "Battered from within..." C.

It's been another very long day. PT & too much running around to do. I'm wiped out! Jellybean missed me, as he always does when I am not home. It doesn't take long for him to go from gargoyle to lap cat. I've been pinned to the couch for hours now... send help... or maybe don't. #Cats #disability

The window I look out the most is the one inside my own head. The same window lets the sunshine in and the darkness. Sometimes I wonder, I wonder if I even see the world through my window, or just a reflection of myself overlaid on the reality outside. #BlueSkyArtShow #Windows #photography #poetry
