Inktober Days: Teeming Up

(Yes, I realize that is the incorrect spelling for the context, it's called a play on words.)

Ever been just the best that it could ever get, and then life just decides to fire everything at you at once, just to see if you'll last? If you didn't at least grunt in agreement in your mind, you're lying. And by the way, the reason why I ask is this was my weekend. Thankfully I made it practically unscathed!

I had to look to a few sources to figure out what it meant, but here's my interpretation of a prompt like "teeming".

More than this has anything to do with the prompt though, it's just an accurate representation of how things are feeling in my life. Even so, prompts are just a pointer and not an absolute theme. So you can take it and bend it to your will. That's something I've always loved about drawing. Some days it's the one and only thing I have control over.

Whatever you're life is teeming with; joy or sorrow, hardships or victory.... just remember you actually never, ever face them alone. There's always help, and there's always hope. That's why I always say: Keep on keepin' on.

Presently presenting Jeffery.

If you would, please allow me the privilege of introducing a Creecher who's stuck around since the very first days of the Creecher Universe. Don't believe me? That's him on the farthest left here, and on the right beside Ray here.

This is Jeff, dubbed Jeff 'Bear hugs' on account of his trademark embraces; so tight, they're almost chiropractic, but still congenially therapeutic. Speaking of big words, Jeff wants me to point out that the reason hugs are such a relief is that they release oxytocin and serotonin, which, without getting to deep into it, bring about feelings of trust, empathy, and joy, doing away with loneliness, stress, and anger.
He also knows that along with a hug, a big smile, and just being there to listen can make a world of difference. We won't go into the psychological terminology behind all that, no matter how much Jeff wants to, because if we do, you'll get bored.
With his big heart, big smile, and winning hugs, it's no wonder Jeffery has stood the test of time, and will most likely continue to for many years to come.
