IF Burning

We all think we can burn the candles at both ends when were are younger and we were probably right! But now as I age a bit my candle needs to be lite on one end for fear I will catch on fire. Tee hee.....We start this week with kids still not wanting to go to school and Doctors appointments for my Mother with cataract surgery on Thursday. It will be her last and the last chance to see better. She is a bit confused so I'm not sure weather she really knows how much better she can see or not. But we had nothing to loose with the process so why not? Feels like fall with a slight wind blowing with a chance of showers this weekend. I'm still moving around STUFF in my loft and don't know if it is reproducing on it's own while I sleep. I'm inspired to paint using a little different figure and of course caught up in the color and patterns of the art work. Thinking of making cardboard stars covered with glitter for presents this Christmas as people tell me that they still love the ones we gave them many years ago. The kids enjoyed making them and the youngest wasn't around the first time so I think she will get a big kick out of doing it and giving them. Thanksgiving next week I have sooooo much to be thankful for and will have a small gathering here with all the goodies. I hope you have a wonderful day and have a lot to be thankful for. I am especially thankful for the ability to create and paint pictures that tickle people's fancies. Nothing calms me more than getting into my work, the world and my small problems disappear. That is Great if only for a moment. So here is my wish for you this holiday season. Moments that take you away from the ugliness of life and in that moment I wish you calmness and the sense that it will be alright! Even if you are not sure it will be. Enjoy those moments.....
