Newest painting...

Here is a sketch of the painting Im working on now.  Its a drawing I did of a sweet little fairy, made by this very talented artist, Coleen Sohn.  I asked her if I could have permission to paint a series of fairies, based on her wonderful creations. She was so sweet and said yes right away.  I'm so excited!  I'll keep you posted on my progress!

Grieving....

This morning I chatted with a beautiful soul who lost her husband 22 months ago.  She is a widow.  I was telling her how hard these last 6 months have been for me, going through separation and divorce.  She didnt discount my pain, she told me I was grieving, just like she was. She said " divorce is a death of a life you knew and dreamed about..." She is grieving the death of her beloved husband, and I am grieving the loss of all I once knew to be comfort.  It's true that this is a grieving process.  It hurts so deeply and I have shed so many tears, but they don't seem to run out.  I'm tired of crying.  I'm tired of feeling sad inside.  I am going through the motions of moving forward...I am doing things that should be fun and joyful, but still inside there is so much sadness.  I do have faith that happiness will return one day, I just wish that was enough for right now.  Maybe soon the tears will run dry and make room for joy. I hope this day is soon.  I will keep taking steps forward and I will keep holding onto that faith.  I will try to grow and learn and become more and more independent.  I will keep trying to accept that this is a process I must go through and that there is the brightest light at the end of this tunnel.
Thank you Coleen, for your words.  They mean so much to me.
