I have good intentions of blogging every day, but I just have not felt like it much. The main reason is that I have not been as involved as usual. John and I had a rough first 6 months of this year with two surgeries each and for me a number of bad reactions to everyday medications. It has not been fun. It also has not been life threatening or terminal or any of those things, but it has taken it's toll on our energy levels nonetheless.
I can hear many of you saying "get thyself to thy art room and do some art therapy". I know. I know. I just have not felt much like it. And you know that the longer you stay away from your art supplies, the more difficult it is to get back into the groove. My friend and former employee, Aimee, is coming over this week for a play date. I have high hopes that she will help me out of the art doldrums.
BUT...here is what makes me smile today.
John had to buy a new car to replace his very used old car. He bought a Toyota (actually made in the USA) hybrid and is obsessed with keeping track of the milage. He is getting 40 mpg!
My etsy shop is alive and busy. Our antique mall room is doing okay. Thank you so much.
My grandkids all love to read.
My garden is blooming.
I watched "Letters From Juliette" last night. I love that movie.
There are many things to smile about every day especially since I share my days with John.
HaHa! No pressure, or anything! I'll do my best! I totally envy John his hybrid! I want one!

A day above ground is a good day Ginny! With the rough year you both have had, I hope the 2nd half of the year has an upswing in energy for you. It will come.

Hang in there! Life has a way of kicking us once in a while, just to say, "Hey", take notice." Please take care!

I'm delighted to see a new blog post, whenever it appears, so yes, some of us are out here. Do take care and I hope the creative juices start flowing quickly soon.
Take care...

Sending positive thoughts for your health and John's too. I'm sure the art will return. I've been lurking around enjoying your blog posts, but I thought it was high time that I say I was here! Big hugs to both of you. xoxo, Shelly

You'll know when you've had enough. Until that time, pamper yourself and your husband. But keep an ear open for that pesky little bug that makes you want to shout to the world "I make Art"!
