FRIDA LINDA

Thought I would post a picture of one of my favorite famous women........ Love Frida. I guess if I would let my eyebrows connect I would kind of look like her. I love creating FRIDA atcs and hopefully soon I will post some.

On another note.............. I went on a little field trip today with my son Aaron. It was a beautiful morning not tooooo hot not toooo cold. I enjoyed watching the people walking by. There were a a lot of elderly ladies that were brought in from a nursing home. I enjoyed watching them because they are beautiful. They had their white hair all nicely fixed and and they were all dressed up. One lady had a smile on her face and the prettiest blue eyes. It gets me thinking. How will I look when I get older. Will I have my nice long white hair in a braid. If I ever get to that age I think I might wear it long. Who knows I might not make it to that age. It might be a sad age to be. Will I still have friends????? Will I be alone????? Don't know!!!!!! You never know. We will see what life brings me. I really need to live now and not think about the future.

Sad News weighing me down

I recently found out an old friend is dying of Cancer. He is only 36/37. It's a very rare form of cancer and from what I understand it has moved through his body at a fast rate. No chance of survival the doctors said. They already gave him a time frame of when he will be passing.

This has been on my mind alot. I got his phone number and address, but now I have to get the courage to call him or visit without balling my eyes out. When I stand still my mind wanders and I think that if it were me I would be wanting to touch everything, smell everything, listen to my favorite music just one more time.

I don't know if he got to do everything that he wanted. I always say that I am old, at 37, but when you hear this gosh 37 is not that old........... I have learned a few things from this experience. I hope he keeps fighting it and I am praying for a miracle.

mY thouGHTS ToDAY

I have been thinking about making a blog of my thoughts and art for a while. Don't really know why today was the right day to start. Can it be because it's amazingly sunny, cool and breezy outside. Can it be that my peony plant finally gave me beautiful pink flowers after having it for 6 years. There are other good reasons why I started this, but don't want to get into it right now. I hope you will all enjoy reading this and maybe I can inspire you to create your own.
