This past week I have been sad and angry - but sitting outside with my hubby today - I giggle - everything for a reason! It is nice to have Norm home this week and next - I am getting so much done! ( LOL - he is getting so much done) The garden tilled - planting tomorrow, a special gift for someone has been made and is in the garage waiting to be protected, the front hall finally finished, but most importantly - we - he and I have actually SAT by the pool the past couple of days, played with the dogs... and I have decided
ANGER is too big of a distraction -Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
Mark Twain
And quite frankly I am better than that and I have more important things to think about and draw! I shall give this not one more ounce of my energy - I have learned a very important lesson - not one might may expect - and the best thing of All (hee hee hee) I HAVE been inspired to draw! The pen mightier than the sword - I am ready to draw ;-)))
As the week continues some amazing things have been happening. Good stuff! I am still so fueled from the expo - every day I remember another POSITIVE, inspiring conversation I had with someone about Cannabis - what I noticed more so than the past two years was there were a lot of people there this year that have NEVER tried Cannabis! WANTING to be educated on the subject and they were in the right place!!
Now onto better things:
I am also inspired by a young man I know name Kyle Clements- Today he has a huge art show at the MOORE Gallery!! WOW! For as long as I have knows Kyle painting has been his life. Many moons ago his mom asked me to talk to him - offer some advice - I thought o.k. and then I saw his work! At 18 I knew he was going to be more of an artist than I ever will be. If he ran out of paint I'd have no doubts in my mind he would use his own blood ;-) IT IS his passion and life. I admire him and I am SO very proud of him! I am blessed also
(big bonus) that his mom is my best friend Kathy. If you are blessed to know Kathy - you soon realize that she has rubbed off and her boys are all also pretty amazing guys.
Kyle is a link on my friend page and I have said it before I can say I know him NOW! IF you can invest in an artist I would say this is the guy! I hear he already has sold a couple of pieces!! All I can say to that Is I am not at all surprised! On FB : https://www.facebook.com/events/439156389430828/
I won't make it tonight but I am so looking forward to seeing his work at the Gallery- if not at the gallery I'm a lucky duck - I can see some when I have coffee with his mom :-) xox
