Please boost! I’m publishing these with some hope that others may start #bestthingtoday sketchnotes: it’s a great way to build and strengthen positive memories.

- rough, small sketches in ink with the best experience for almost every day in the timeframe. The base is lineart in black and gray, often colored with sky blue, grass green, sun orange, or earth yellow as highlight-colors. On the right there is a streak of colors where I clean the pens after they take up black ink. It starts with travelling during family holidays while singing together and writing a poem. Many days the best thing was swimming or going to the village celebration. Other days it was listening to audiobooks, especially qualityland. One was an uncle saying thank you for coming, two are kisses, three times it was dancing. Two others were work projects: improving diagrams and optimizing algorithms. Many are with the dog. It ends with playing the dark ending of Baldurs Gate 3 after patch 7 and turning the bg3 sketches into a video. If the days feel dark or gray to you right now — as mine felt when I started this — maybe sketching like this could be part of self-care that helps you get out. I remember more joy now. What ever may be a good path for you: if you feel like you’re drowning in gray, you should take *some* path to remember more of the best moments of your days. Please take care of yourself. You are worthy of experiencing joy. (remote)
