I know. It's been an entire month plus since I've last been on this page.
Things happen.
This is to wish all of my blog visitors a Happy New Year.
2011 was a trying, emotional, changing and even uplifting year in this household. I was lucky to meet new friends through a variety of means who brought much joy and hope into my life. I am thankful to have long-time friends who are constant and stable, whom I adore and respect. I was able to let go of past issues and relationships that brought pain and difficulty. We said goodbye to our beloved Gracie. And I began painting again. Slowly, surely. Creating, painting. Steadily, if not quickly.
I hope for us all, on a global level as well as in our tiny places in the world, that 2012 continues to bring hope, changes that are beneficial, kindness and smiles. I think the world needs a heaping helping of kindness and a whole lot more smiles.
And on that note, before I get all sappy and boring and goofy, here is my latest painting, delivered in time for Christmas.
