Today is my first Friday to ever participate in Illustration Friday.
http://illustrationfriday.com
The topic is SPORT.
I drew this, because it's how I'm feeling right now. I have been working from home for 10 months now. The warm days and evenings are inviting me outside to come and play. But I need to sit at the computer and work. Today, I am feeling out of touch with everyone and eveything that brings me joy.
When I was a child, I was never able to swing from Ring to Ring at school. Just weak arms, I suppose. I would leap from the steal bar and grab them and swing to catch the next ring and then the next.. and then I would just hang there, holding on to two rings before I had to let it go.
Today I want to be a good sport. To focus on the goal and not let the rings get in my way.
See the illustration? It's not me letting go. It's me jumping up to reach them and trying again.

Welcome to IF. This is one of those kind of pieces that speaks volumes through its simplicity. I read my own feelings right into it immediately. Really nice illustration! It'll be fun to watch your work.
I could never swing from ring to ring either, but like you, I still try. Thanks for the smile this morning.
Welcome. The explanation adds a lot. Simple and graphic.
Yes! Please keep trying again and again. You can do it. The rings are swinging. I see your clutch. It is strong. You are holding your own self up. Way to go!
you're almost there. just reach a little harder :) i like your illo and welcome to IF.

As a kid I was able to swing from ring to ring which caused me to go quickly across the monkey bars. I didn't have the opportunity to just swing and take my time...you definitely had an advantage of another view. Did you know that going quickly from ring to ring also gives you blisters?
I love your thoughts, you give me a chance to see things 'outside of the box."
Cool message... and love the illustration. Thanks for the illustration friday's link. I may try that sometime!
hold on baby! You are doing so good.
