Illustration Friday: Star Gazing


"But what if you leave me too soon?" the little seal asked his mother.

"You'll see me in the moon, little one. You'll see me in the moon."

To me, a shooting star represents someone crossing over to the next realm, the great beyond, something bigger.
This is for all of us who have lost someone we love dearly. When you see a shooting star, speak to them and send them a message. Maybe this was their way of saying hello to you.


This is pulled from my archives as I'm getting ready for an exciting visitor tomorrow, Marianne from Mandalas and More!  I can't believe she's traveling all this way to meet me! Well, she does have other things to see and people to meet like KJ and Mim (hopefully)  so it's NOT really all about me.
We pick her and her son Felix up in Providence tomorrow evening and then we'll come home to chill out and have pizza and wine...and cookies! I know, couldn't I do better?
Then Sunday my husband and Felix will go to a Pawtucket Red Sox baseball game while Marianne and I go for a day trip shopping and having a leisurely lunch to get to know each other. How fun!
Monday bright and early we leave for Provincetown to see KJ and JB and we will spend the night. I know they have a lobster dinner planned and a special coconut cake!
Then Tuesday night we'll head home and maybe, just maybe Mim will come to my house to meet Marianne. Sadly, her MIL is having a health scare right now and that might take Mim to Florida. Our prayers and good thoughts will go with them.
So, lots packed in a few days! You won't hear much from me until after Marianne leaves on Wednesday. Meanwhile, I finally finished her painting that I have been working and reworking for a year now. I'll post it after she sees it, because first and foremost it's a surprise for her!!

Happy weekend everyone. See you soon!
xoxo

Thankful Thursday: Picking up the pieces


I have received so many loving gifts in the past few weeks. They've come in the form of atc's, cards, letters, art supplies and phone calls all from my wonderful blogging friends who know I've been down and who have all tried to buoy me up.

I don't have time to scan all of these wonderful things and post them individually because I'm still in the middle of the latest giant mess. (Cleaning up raw sewage in my kitchen and bathroom from a freak plumbing incident while we were sleeping!)

What I will do is this. I will refuse to keep my tail between my legs and whimper any longer. I'll dig deep into my reserves and find my sense of humor and the lesson in all this madness. I will not let the actions of one psychotic landlady to break my spirit. I will remember that by nature I'm a kind and loving person but shit happens to good people too.

Today I'm saying enough is enough. I'm digging through my boxes and taking out my art supplies and dammit I'm going to make some art!

So please forgive my lack of posts and comments on your blogs. Know that I treasure every good thought and gift you've sent my way. Little by little I'll get on track and show up like I used to. Hang in there with me.

When I count my blessings, (and there are many) my faithful blog friends are among them. You know who you are ;)

Okay then. Back to life as I knew it!
