Words to live by

Oh, I love sunshine!! It's gorgeous outside today and I'm so happy! I love the feel of the sun on my face, such a nice warmth. I have so much to share and write about, but my to-do list is literally about a mile long and working in another time crunch is jumbling my priorities up. It's that constant struggle between what is really truly important to you but not urgent (like making art and other creative pursuits) and what is urgent and needs to get done but not necessarily fulfilling (like vehicle inspection stickers and unpacking the suitcase from the last trip. And yes, I am a little embarrassed that it's still sitting half-packed in my bedroom. But only a little.) So, today I will be uploading my pics from Vegas and maybe Costa Rica so I can share a couple recent adventures with you before I leave for Key West. In the meantime, I'll leave you with a quote I ran across today. The author is unknown to me.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to
dance in the rain."

New Stuffs a'Comin!

So much to share with you guys!

I really do love having my blog, so I'm going to recommit to posting regularly. So coming attractions will be some pics from Costa Rica, Vegas, the Art and Soul classes, updates on my hand- I think I'm finally ready to share what it looks like, New Projects, New Art Acquisitions, Stella "the Beast" Gonyea-Lee, and much more! Are you excited yet? I know you are, I can feel it. I need to make myself presentable because I think the boy will be home early and I've been doing housework all morning, and -bless his heart, he's endured enough days of unwashed hair, no-makeup, and pajamas to last awhile, I think.

In the meantime, here's a pic of Stella pooped after a day at Camp Bow Wow- she's so cute!- and the new short finger, Frankie. My hand looks pretty normal now that the scars from surgery are healed and the stitches are out. There's still a scab on the end of my finger, but that will take time to fall off little by little- still a little gross looking. But this is night and day compared to my hand right after surgery (very Frankensteinish), maybe one day I'll share those pics if anyone actually wants to see them.

Be back soon!
