The Strength of a Memory...the Power of Love

...a real hydrangea blossom from last year's blooms, dried.

A special day.

A special journal page this morning.

Emotional.

Personal.

Makes my heart pound.

I choose to 'miss good'

not 'missing bad'.

I love you, Dad.

With arms raised high,

and looking to the bright heavens,

Your,

 'Sweetie'

An Un-Saturday Sketch

Last night, I sat in the corner of my living room

and sketched this.

It's the first time I've tried to draw a man's face

...for at least 30 years.

While I enjoy drawing eyes, I have difficulty

with the male mouth.

My husband told me to put a foot in it.

Journaling Clarity

I noticed that I have been journaling in brown a lot lately,

so today I was in the mood for my favorite color: green

...and some peacefulness

and attention to my Word for 2012,

Clarity.

I felt the mood of the stenciling, the spraying,

the soothing magazine images,

the stamping.

I played with text and colors...

and yes, tape.

The green doesn't look quite this loud

in my journal...!

Are you going to do something soothing today?

Journaling Thoughts...

I have this whole week off and

I couldn't possibly be more thrilled or grateful.

I am resting, thinking, creating, and

thinking some more. Can't help it.

Seems my Ellie is resting and thinking, too.

She is looking out at the deck...

thinking about when the heck a squirrel

will come along.

Take care.

Be good to yourself,

~k

Happy Easter!

Peace.

Journal

Six

has never been a favorite number...

3 is...23 is...33 is

...but the significance lately has been, well,

significant.

So, on this April 6th, Good Friday,

SIX it is. 

It seems that the sum of my parts

is finally being discovered by physicians,

and I WILL feel Whole again.

Over the past 6 months, and particularly

over these past 6 weeks,

I was hit by 6 major

illnesses,

any one of which hurts.

I am coming back

and I thank you

for staying with me

and supporting me.

And I thank my son

who helped so much.

Blessings.

Always,
