Learning about myself...

I was not particularly calm when I started tonight's Zentangle, but I wanted to do one, because I have missed a few days again, and I wanted to make progress toward my goal, so I did one. I forgot about not making mistakes, and tried to go over lines and fix things that I perceived as mistakes. That was my mistake. The finished tangle isn't nearly as good as it could have been. If I had just let the "mistakes" alone, they would have been swallowed up in the larger pattern. By trying to fix them, I feel like I've called attention to them and screamed, "Look here! I messed up!"  Maybe that's a lesson to me - don't overanalyze and try to fix problems that don't exist.
