A Beautiful Day!

Today I had a really good day.  Minimal headache, minimal pain, minimal balance issues...a really good day.

I took my lunch out on our back porch and enjoyed the nice weather (70's F, with a breeze).  Hubby was getting the last few things that our garden produced.  Some catnip for Max the cat, some hot peppers, and one last tiny leak.  There's still a little bit of arugula, but not enough to do anything with.  Perhaps if I buy some salad greens I'll mix it in.  Unfortunately, our garden didn't do much this year.  Shortly after we planted, and things started growing, I got sicker.  So it didn't get watered, or taken care of much at all.  We did get a number of tomatoes, a bunch of potatoes and shallots....but that's about it.  (other than herbs, the herbs did well.  Now it's drying time.)

While I was sitting out enjoying the great weather, there was a gust of wind and a whirlwind of leaves came blowing off the trees, it was beautiful.  They were dancing through the sky, their last waltz.  I had a giggle.

I came in and created this.  A little sketch on Photoshop.  It really doesn't do the scene justice, but it makes me feel good inside from the memories.
The Last Dance.
Leaves blowing in the wind.

  2. Thank you Rita, unfortunately today I'm really paying for yesterday. I hurt all over! I really need to find out how to tell what my limits are...I seem to over extend myself way too much.

  3. The only thing that helps me is using a timer. Otherwise when I am having a good day I inevitably overdo it. If I limit my sessions to 45-60 minutes and spread them out over the day I can "usually" do something almost every day even if I am only good for one session on a bad day. Of course, the sessions include everything--LOL! Cooking, laundry...you know, all the usual stuff. I hate when I get to feeling so miserable I am totally useless...but it happens sometimes.
    Take care. Be gentle with yourself. :):)

  6. I like this picture. :) Also, my mom has a lot of ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) problems, along with being bipolar. I understand how frustrating it can be dealing with that, plus some. God makes everything better. I like both of your blogs and I'll mention your picture on my blog on tumblr. I like finding out new art to post on there.

  7. caitlambert,
    Thank you. I hope your mom is able to live a full life. you are right, it can be frustrating, that's a big reason I started this blog. Art is my way of coping. My day to day creating is not the same type of art I did before the meniere's got so advanced, but I can do it every day, no stress, and it makes me happy.
    no talent required. : )

    thank you for your interest and encouragement.
