This is one of my favorite forms of artwork. It’s been with me the longest. From marks made in the margins of my notebooks in school to discovering zentangles and mandalas, I am drawn to intentional doodling. 
It is not just art that is being formed. My mind is busy playing as well. Brenda Ueland calls that moodling.
The imagination needs moodling–long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering. These people who are always briskly doing something and as busy as waltzing mice, they have little, sharp, staccato ideas, such as: “I see where I can make an annual cut of $3.47 in my meat budget.” But they have no slow, big ideas. And the fewer consoling, noble, shining, free, jovial, magnanimous ideas that come, the more nervously and desperately they rush and run from office to office and up and down stairs, thinking by action at last to make life have some warmth and meaning.

My hands are doodling and my mind is moodling and the result of that is copious creativity. And that’s a good thing.
Sharing this moment …
reading Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking
listening to the morning birds
seeing a home that needs attention
tasting nothing … which just means I need my coffee!
feeling creative
thinking about a date night with the love of my life.
