Thank you Lisa! This was my FIRST attempt at ...Wow! Thank you Lisa! This was my FIRST attempt at painting EVER! And, holy cow! You mention "fine art" and my painting in the same little paragraph! I'll take your compliment! I'll take that compliment with me all over town!!! I am pretty sure it doesn't qualify for the "fine art" category though. Maybe with more experience??? ;-) At this point, I don't even feel qualified to call myself an artist. And, I'm shaking my head right now because a couple of months ago I was saying that I was NOT creative and if I was in the least, I couldn't actually DO that stuff... I'll be working on a post about my experience and share some more of my projects ASAP! Also, I can't thank you enough for the other encouraging things you said. I still struggle. I probably always will to a degree. I see another post idea forming here! Ok, SO... Why keep working so hard if it doesn't FIX ALL MY PROBLEMS? I loved reading a little about your family & your cool kids products! You have any plans to make adult sizes??? I also wanted to tell you that your positive energy/attitude/spirit is invigorating!<br /><br />Look forward to visiting more in the future!<br /><3 Lesyour favorite oxymoronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854564440694001553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61564671054461904.post-43424099350818397372013-04-10T09:45:56.156-05:002013-04-10T09:45:56.156-05:00I love what you wrote and will continue to read wh...I love what you wrote and will continue to read what you post. My husband and I were talking the other day, I've had 3 occasions in my life when I've felt desperately (and chemically) depressed. He can barely remember 3 weeks that he hasn't felt it. He works so hard at being happy. He has his strategies, but I really need to learn to live with it too, as it can be hard on me. I think I'll learn a lot from your blog. Thanks for being so open.

I wish I could paint like that. I am just devoid of all talent "fine art".<br /><br />Congratulations to you for living - through all of the mess. Most people would lie down - would give up. This characteristic shows how special you are. This is why I clicked over from Twitter. I knew you were special.<br /><br />Thanks so much for connecting on Twitter. I look forward to following you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956044918626392909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61564671054461904.post-63971440673813727652013-04-08T19:44:32.781-05:002013-04-08T19:44:32.781-05:00I love you and I love that we could have such a he...I love you and I love that we could have such a heartfelt conversation this afternoon.

I wanted to just disappear but they saw me. It was pretty powerful. And just one more reason I love being around these wonderful creatures. I am their shepherd. And, they don't judge my sorrow and fear. They still trust me to guide them. <3 <3 <3<br /><br />And, I would love to come and visit sometime!
