Time

 Finished another painting. I'm really enjoying oils! It's been fun. I find it both a challenge and gratifying to spend time using my creative self! It sure helps to relax me. Keeps my mind busy at the same time. 

Time is something that goes so slowly.. when it comes to waiting.. but yet goes so fast when it comes to the reality of years that have passed by over time.  

Being in "LIMBO" has gotten easier to cope with.. having painting to set my mind on.

With the exception of how expensive this can be..  I wish I had started sooner with oils. I've been painting for over 3 years now.. but with acrylics and what ever brushes I could find cheap.  I think this was the next step in developing my love of the art!

Funny, not funny, ha ha, but funny, interesting.. how both my sister

 (who is 10 years older than me)  and I began painting at the same time with out either one of us knowing about the other.. over the years, we have found similar connections to likes and dislikes. She has been using oils, since her beginning and is quite an accomplished artist now.. winning awards. Her paintings have been valued at over eight thousand dollars.  I'm so proud of her! 

The best thing about all of this, is that we, sisters, get to spend time together painting. This is the first time in our lives that we have lived in the same town.  I'm so inspired by her zest for living.. it's contagious! 

I have someone to share Mom with.. and that is wonderful support not only from my sister but her husband. Together they are my support team that keeps me together..

Family.. makes my world go round.

I'm praying that the LORD will heal the hurts in my children so that they too, will be able to reap the benefits of family time and family support in living life!

I'm so thankful for my youngest daughter.. the granddaughters she has blessed me with. I enjoy every minute with them.. time does go too fast sometimes.. and those moments are over.

I'm learning to take it all in.. my surroundings, my blessings. God is Good!
