Is a great day.

It’s also my mother’s birthday.  Saturday we are going to lunch at our favorite nursery, Swanson’s, where they have a nice little cafe to rest your feet in between looking at their amazing selection.  Then we go to visit dad where we will open presents.  Dad is trying his best to adjust to the Adult Family Home he’s going to be living in for the rest of his life poor guy. We do what we can.

This is what I made for mom.  It’s not “Fine Art” but I think this will mean more to her than most things I could do.

(Sorry for the photo quality, taken from my phone with artificial light.)

Goodness, I’ve had a blog for years.  At least 5 or 6 years.  I’m ready for change. I’ve been journaling about my life for a long time and there have been some very hard times and growing times going on.  Having an outlet has really been great. Having support from random goodness out there in the world has been really great.  I don’t know if I would have made it without this blog.  I no longer feel a big need to talk about my life, my process.  I’ve made it to the other side.

I no longer feel the need to talk about my spiritual life either. I feel drawn to express my spiritual life artistically.  There is so much cool stuff out there happening in the art world, people like me just drawn to creating.

I think I’m going to let this thought play around in my head and I’m going to be away for a little while.  Watch for a new look and a new focus….

(Update: Dad is being moved to a home as the skilled nursing place says he’s improved all he’s going to improve which breaks my heart a little. Life is good, so very good, so very precious, so bittersweet, and while mom and I are doing well (work is fab Mr Furnace is the love of my life) we are just exhaustified. Just overwhelmed and exhausted. I might not be back here, I honestly don’t know.  We shall see. I’m sure energy will return and inspiration will breath new life into me but right now I’m not making promises. )

LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys!

Dad is improving. Cantankerous old geezer, kicking nurses and swinging between sweet goodness and evil cranky pants.  He must be getting better.  He is understandable more than before and getting functionality back in his left leg. His left arm is another matter and I’m starting to get a little concerned about that.  He’s diabetic and we don’t want him to lose that arm so circulation and exercising it are important.

Life is LIFE.  Life is good. Love is grand and my favorite love EVER. The job is my favorite job EVER. Home life is going well, me and mum get along very well and there is lots of support between us.

Life is GOOD.
