This blog was formerly dedicated in 2009 to my Dad who died of Alzheimer's in 2013. It's been three years now...and I find myself missing blogging...so I am re-inventing my blog... because, after all, life is about moving through, and going forward...

Oh the changes are a comin'....

For years, every February, was my season for change. Something would happen that month with new insights, better perspectives, heightened intuition... New goals and dreams were written down in my journal. From somewhere in the Universe, or coming up through the ground, it was as real as my life.

Somewhere along the line, and I cannot tell you when, it either stopped, or I became lost in the shuffle of my life. I am here to tell you, it might be September, but, IT'S BACK!

Maybe it is the relief from my visit with the Orthopedist this morning. My slip and fall at the Casino, hurting my left shoulder on July 25th has still been bothering me. Pain slaps me hard on certain types range of motion. The doctor told me he thought it was only tendinitis and would be surprised if I tore my rotor cuff. He gave me a cortisone shot and will see me in six weeks. He told me to "take it easy" with my arm for two days, because it will be numb. My shoulder feels like my mouth did when I went to the dentist.

I floated out of his office feeling so thankful! It's like I woke up out of a coma or something. The sky looked bluer, the beautiful, distant mountains seemed closer, the weather was perfect with a slight, dancing breeze...

Maybe it is the weather cooling off. I can get back into my art studio in the garage, make a mess and paint. Listen to my iPod and be whisked away into a creative oblivion...

Maybe it is my sister coming to visit next month for 5 days...but the changes are a comin'...

Last night I fiddled with the blog and added some gadgets, but didn't like the advertising on it. I will have to keep searching and exploring, to get the look I want. Guess it will grow and mature as times goes by....

Started a watercolor today (didn't like it, so pulled out an unfinished one). Going to challenge myself to do a painting per day. Or start one per day... All this stimulus in my brain had me painting and attempting my blog...which means, getting involved with too many projects and end up with unfinished paintings I can't find!
I have to get to bed, it is way too late. Here is my watercolor abstract with a Chinese Tang horse emerging...
