We can always depend on profound answers from Smile. Always appreciated.

I believe we can go through stages in our lives. I'm in a lonely stage myself right now. It's depressing. We can get in a rut and we have to remember that a rut is a grave with both ends kicked out. So, I've been literally forcing myself to get out of the house and do things. I don't feel like it but I make myself do it. Even if it's window shopping. I force myself to get fixed up and get in the car, even if I don't have a destination in mind.

Maybe on one day, you can force yourself to set up your painting materials. Just set them up. Then, go from there. One step at a time, one day at a time.

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. Hang in there.
