Have you ever had one of those meetings? You know the one...where there is stuff being talked about that doesn't really pertain to you and you feel trapped listening to the endless chatter thinking that you could be at your desk actually getting things done. Well, I had one today. I was up early today, so in order to help myself not fall asleep (that would have been bad since my director was at this meeting), I decided to doodle. I took a picture of the doodle and submitted it here for your viewing pleasure. I have been creating swirly doodles like this since junior high school. Sometimes it is just swirly circles and lines. Sometimes I hide words inside the doodle or my own name. I don't know why I doodle like this. It's just something I do. It makes me feel serene and peaceful. It's therapeutic, really. And it is helpful during those boring meetings that you have to attend. Fortunately for me, but unfortunately for my masterpiece, the meeting was shorter than usual. So, it will remain an unfinished work. Until the next meeting, that is.

Doodling for my Sanity

Yes I've been in those meetings! Thus the reason I take my laptop with me. I've also been known to color during donuts and devotions. Which thankfully Don isn't offended by. In fact one meeting before he dismissed the meeting asked if I was done with my picture. All good!
Nice doodle by the way!
If you save your doodles, you could adapt them and make some money selling them to machine quilters.

Those look just like my doodles... and yes, I have one of those meetings almost every week.
