Getting Back To It
I felt I really needed to get a post in tonight. I have been absent for awhile and I’m feeling a bit guilty. But I have a good reason. My husband has been ill. We made quick trip to the ER over a week ago and his well being has rather completely encompassed my life since that point. Though his recovery will be long, I plan to continue to post and paint and try to keep the bills paid.
I’ve got a couple of posts in the works with photos from my Breyerfest trip. Tomorrows post will be about the Breyerfest horse that captured my imagination and I took well over 400 photos of him alone. (no kidding!) I have no doubt he will be painted at least two times in the next year.
Also there will be a post intoducing you to the horse which is going to be the subject of my next painting. Which with any luck I will be able to start in the next week or so.
So there you have it. I haven’t been skiing in Aspen or gambling on the Rivierra. Just the normal (more or less) trials of everyday life.
I am sorry, Mona, to learn of your husband’s illness. I am so very glad to understand that he is in recovery. I know you have had other helpers at art fairs, I hope you have a list to from which to recruit. Wishing you both a speedy recovery over the next months.
Looking forward to seeing you horse photos and looking forward very much to the forthcoming art. Take good care of yourself, Angela
I’m really sorry to hear that your husband has been so poorly. I’m glad that he is now on the mend.
Don’t you dare feel guilty for not posting! Hubby comes first - always. Take your time, we’ll wait.
Best wishes to both of you.
Thanks for the well wishes from both of you. I had thought about telling his whole story but then decided against it. Suffice it to say that there is no cure and the best we can hope for is recovery or remission. When I think of it in those terms I get really sad. But then I think, I am a diabetic, for which there is no cure. The best I can hope for is to stay as healthy as possible and live as close to a normal life as I can. So thats our goal for Mike. BTW being a diabetic kinda sucks but I still have a very enjoyable life.
So I believe it is a possible goal for him as well.
No, I don’t have a list of people I can get to help at artfairs. I have always been the one to help others. Either Mike is with me or I do them alone. I am hopeful he will be in a place where he can help me in the upcoming fairs. Not sure if I’m being overly optimistic. But they are a month away yet. We’ll see what happens when the time comes.
