Health-related:

I’ve been swimming almost every day. Sometimes, twice a day.Through medicines and some diet tweaking, I’ve managed to get my blood pressure down. Not enough, and not without an occasional spike, but it’s so much better.

Happiness-related: 

I have been working on and making great progress organizing my art room, getting ready for the next push for art shows and reopening my Etsy store.I finished #the100dayproject online art challenge! Here are some of my last pieces I completed in the beginning of June…
