Just put it out there: your love, your humor, your frustrations... it's amazing what comes back.

My arm pain has had me near tears all day.
Typing hurts, but a lot less than cleaning did, taking out garbage does and the other "must do" things have.
No art today :(

But I put a gripe on facebook, because writing out my failures stops them from running circles in my mind.
One of our community friends offered to make my son's birthday cake, because she was already making cakes today and I don't have mom or MIL close to do so for me.

Seriously, a woman I only talk to a few minutes each week offered to make my son's birthday cake so I don't have to further stress myself today/tonight.

I. AM. LUCKY & LOVED.

And I am grateful.
(and so are the little kids who will devour it tomorrow!)

compliment

A fellow artist gave me the warmest compliment about my writing stylel I have ever recieved as we rode the elevator down out of the studios.
The problem? I don't think it's my posts/blog that he could have been referring to! At the time I was too touched by the warmness of the compliment from this true gentleman to be able to seek clarification.

Thank you Richard, even if the compliment wasn't mine to hear, it warmed my heart!
