Thank the Universe for my good chiropractor! He took x-rays and found a huge curve in my spine, and 3 ribs were pulling from my spine. No wonder I was in agony.

Well, I am up and about and painting a wee bit again! Wolves and skellys and lost angels and more - mostly on motorcycle decals, and more inquiries coming in. I have to take it slow, be very careful with my movements, and not to lift ANYTHING, or I end up right back in bed, flat on my back in pain.

I am grateful for every moment on my feet! I am grateful for healing hands and wonderful hearts. I am grateful for the wonderful husband I am lucky to have. I am grateful for my open eyes which allow me to see things that most people take for granted or just pass by…I am grateful for the beauty that surrounds me. I am grateful for the ugliness, too, or the beauty would be mundane, wouldn’t it? The ugliness gives us something to improve, to nurture, to heal…

I am extremely grateful for my patient clients who’ve sent me nothing but well-wishes while I’ve been ill! I love you guys! *hugs*

I am very happy that I am well enough that my hubby agreed to adopt a dog! We got a precious Min Pin from the SPCA a couple weeks ago - holy moly, she is freaking hilarious!!!! She boings around the yard like an antelope on crack! She’s a year old, and is pretty darn well-behaved, but I can see how this breed has it’s stubborn and pushy points. You have to train constantly or they will be pushing you around, no matter that they are tiny. Total Napoleon complex here with these little packages of dynamite! But we love her, and she has us in stitches all the time. As I am writing this, she is snoring on my lap, but she could explode into frenetic activity at any moment, so I will say “ciao” until next time…peaceful journeys!
