After 10 wonderfully relaxing days, I\u00b4m back to my normal, sometimes-crazy-busy days. One of my favorite things to come home to, was a big package in the mail from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dawnsokol.com\/\">Dawn Sokol<\/a>. A big book inside, with a handwritten bookmark, guiding me to my page \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1617690775\/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p14_d26_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=desktop-1&amp;pf_rd_r=1M8YAB7EM71KZ913QRX3&amp;pf_rd_t=36701&amp;pf_rd_p=2079475242&amp;pf_rd_i=desktop\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19219\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Unknown-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown\" width=\"260\" height=\"289\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Unknown.jpeg 260w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Unknown-150x167.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author\u00b4s note to me (hi-hi..)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19494\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_5323.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_5323\" width=\"450\" height=\"260\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/MG_5323.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/MG_5323-150x87.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><\/p>\n<p>I am not sure if I can find the words to fully describe what it feels like to read one\u00b4s own name in a book like this.

But I have started with the beginning, and am enjoying the details in the work, the thoughts the artists offer. I really like that so many of the artists have their websites published. I am looking forward to discovering a lot of new ARTing-folks!<\/p>\n<p>Well, anyway. I thought I\u00b4d celebrate it with you, by sharing the next 7 pages in my original travel journal: Sri Lanka. It\u00b4s the 39th country I\u00b4ve visited! It ranks quite high, and is one of the countries I don\u00b4t feel I am nearly finished discovering, and want to go back to explore more.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19486\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SriLanka1-450x238-1.jpg\" alt=\"SriLanka1\" width=\"450\" height=\"238\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SriLanka1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SriLanka1-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19487\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SriLanka2-450x245-1.jpg\" alt=\"SriLanka2\" width=\"450\" height=\"245\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SriLanka2.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SriLanka2-150x82.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19488\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SriLanka3-450x232-1.jpg\" alt=\"SriLanka3\" width=\"450\" height=\"232\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SriLanka3.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SriLanka3-150x77.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19492\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SriLanka41.jpg\" alt=\"SriLanka4\" width=\"225\" height=\"206\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SriLanka41.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SriLanka41-150x137.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\"><\/p>\n<p>The&amp;amp;nbsp;pages are all watercolor and black pen, the last page isn\u00b4t finished\u2026 but that\u00b4s the beauty of a travel journal, there is no \u201cright way\u201d, no way should be or has to be.
