Singing as the Darkness Lifts

was kind enough to let me have a photo with her this afternoon. She did say, "Now where is that child that wanted their photo taken?" which made me laugh.

My Mum had knitted him his very own scarf!

...was given to me as a thank you for a kind deed I did. (It is long since eaten, but not forgotten because it will remain a symbol to me.) Today I received the kindest of words for some time I took to do something for a friend and I was reminded of the pear. It's the little things that mean the most.

My paintings have now been described as intimate and evocative. I love to read such comments and I love the power of language. So glad I became a 'will' not a 'won't' and was inspired and encouraged to get some work a-hanging on some walls. Goal setting is good.

and the way she poses for the best pictures!
