Absolut Zen Day!!

Pretty Zen Art

ink/acrylic/watercolor 11.5x8


I made it for school. The theme Absolut vodka. I decided on absolut Zen. There was a small absolut bottle in the yellow triangle of the sun. And in the white space was going to be the words Absolut Zen. But this was too pretty of a drawing. So I erased the bottle and kept it just as art. The drawing below is what I ended up with. It visibly looks more like their Ads that they always have.

We draw so much stuff about liquor or wine in school. Come to think of it, Maybe it wasn't a lot but as someone who doesn't drink or use drugs anymore I really notice it when others do. Be it on T.V. or commercials or billboards. We are a world full of Drunk Lushes. Atleast they don't steal there Dads quarters from his pants pocket to get drunk. Thats why they can - And people like I don't.


How I am doing-------

I'm doing alright today. It's another good feeling day. I got some Orajel for my sore in my mouth. I can eat now. Well, I can eat without pain. I do have the whispers of a headache and my body from time to time aches, But that is just fine. I can take some tylenol and most of it Subsides. It's also a welcome feeling from how I was just over a week ago.

Trying to remain in a good mood. It helps when you feel good.

Everything I watch on T.V. or Movies I am so sensitive and get teary eyed. I have felt tears run down my face over the last month more times than I can count.

I have my Big Book Study tonight for A.A.. I also had another person ask me to be his sponsor. It sure feels good when others see what you have and they want that too. Before I go to the meeting I am visiting a friend of mine who is in the hospital for blood clots in her stomach. I know what its like to not feel good so I need to reach a hand out and remind her she has friends that are thinking of her.

I'm tackling the day
