Sounds good @Vanessa5 i visited mum and dad and talked about some stuff. Was a good break from being in my own mind with my own issues ruminating. I myself have been meaning to get some pastels, crayons and good paper for about 3 years now. But havent gotten around to it. I have bucket loads of pencils, textas and a bit of paint. But in all honesty. I really love my pastels and crayons. Its good to hear you getting art supplies.
The weather is really not pleasant here today... so maybe the coffee on the bench will have to wait until another day. Instead i may visit a friend...
Relaxing with a coffee right now... (in the dim lit lounge room ) and thinking about venting to my journal about sone issues... (a laptop... i write a page and title it... and do it three or four times and save it to the collection...) also been meaning to get a good diary...)

I find it helps when im hearing voices or having paranoia and delusions. Too, overpower them with positive, faith based self talk. And get behind the issues that are causing them. And defuse them. You know, changing that way of thinking. And also sometimes facing the issue they are revolved around. And putting at ease the fears that develop from them. As hard an confronting as it can be. *which i never really find the proper truth for* I find it helps. And some days were just destined to bad.

Hope it all works out well for you... peace be with you...
