Illustration Friday: Water



This is a tiny painting I did called "Ebb and Flow."
I don't do many abstracts. I try, really I do, but the detail freak in me comes out!

I'm learning to go with the flow lately.

I lost a dear, dear friend the other day. She lost a short but valiant battle to cancer. I got to say "I love you and so long" on the phone as the nurses were putting in her morphine drip. It was very tough.

I have a torn meniscus in my knee. Big deal, but the other knee is painful as well. I see the orthopedic guy on Halloween. Scary!
I know surgery is in my future and I can't afford to be absent even one day from work. This too shall pass.

I'm ready to get back to blogging on a regular basis again. My computer issues have finally been resolved, hopefully for good.
I've missed being here!

Oh my, life is always changing.
Ups, downs, curve-balls, wind-falls.
We muddle through.

Thanks for the visit. I hope to see you again  soon :)

love,
Lo

    Lo, It is so good to see you here. Hate to hear that you lost a good friend. Life can be tough sometimes. Your knee issues can probably all be fixed when the meniscus is fixed. Best of luck with that. I hope to see you around more. I miss you. Love your header picture. I know what you mean about the abstract paintings. I never even try. You are braver than I.

    hello darling friend, i am so sorry for your loss. losing a good friend has to be one of the saddest events in life. the line is thin, lo: she stays with you, i believe, and those above watch and care for us below xo

    as for your knee: no surgery yet! maybe no surgery needed! but a meniscus tear is so difficult: knees are so darn important. i hope maybe it's not a tear.

    it is always a joy for me when you post. YAY YIPPEE I LOVE IT AND YOU!!!!!!

    most sincerely
    ms. kj
