So I haven't drawn in a while because life gets in the way. With the digital age, we spend more time in front of a screen than with the people and the things we love. I used to spend time drawing with my dad, who I regard as a master artist. How I miss that. I am sure we all know someone who is silent, but wise. He was like that. I honestly remember almost no physical words that he spoke, but his example, and the way that he carried himself taught me more than any audible sound I have heard.
This is just a silly picture, but I just thought I'd share it with you. Yesterday I downloaded a drawing app and I ended up spending a good 20 minutes using my finger to draw this picture. It was amazing that I felt as if I was drawing on paper. Technology is really improving with regards to touch screens etc. I remember, not too long ago when this technology was super bad. I could hardly write my name on the first touch screen I got. One flaw with the app, though, is that it can't handle too many separate lines on the screen, as it started dragging and lines weren't able to be curved after a while, so I did what I could.
May we make time out for the things and the people we love. I am speaking to myself here. I recently heard a quote by Thomas S. Monson (I am not sure if he was the original author):
"Never let a problem to be solved become greater than a person to be loved"
The problem to be solved could refer to working to earn a living, it can be our hobbies, or it can be real problems. Before we know it, the person to be loved or the thing we love will be out of our grasp.
