It's
been a hard few months for me. Although I am excited to finally go to
BC and see my beautiful girlfriend, oh and see the Pacific Ocean and
oh yes mountains. Lots and Lots of mountains (Which has been a dream
of mine for many many years). I can't wait to get away. I feel like
I've been in a maelstrom of turmoil for months, perhaps even years
and it will be nice to slip that off for a few weeks. It is
amazing, she has footed the bill to fly both my daughter and myself
out to see her. So the excitement is times two!
I
will miss somethings from home. My morning greeter namely. Since
December I have had brilliantly coloured cardinal who has cheered me
almost every morning. It's not uncommon to hear them where I live,
but this one has taken up residency in the cedars in my yard. I
even hear him calling in the mid afternoon and it always causes me to
smile. I do hope that he sticks around when I am gone.
I'll
try to blog more frequently, but of late all I have really wanted to
do is paint. Forsaking almost all of my usual hobbies to immerse
myself in painting. Usually some music or space documentary playing
in the background. It makes me happy to paint and even more happy to
give pieces to people I care about. If you have received a painting
from me count yourself lucky! It means I really value you as a
person. I'm still not very good at it. (I'm more of a musician than
an artist), but each work I do I contemplate whom I'm giving it to
and spend hours (more like days actually) creating each piece. Here
are a few that I have done.
Peace
be unto you!
