thinking about Valentines...

I went through my old trusty Valentines box and pulled out some garlands made long ago. I dug through the cards as if I were at an archeology dig, the layers of cards made by hands little and hands big... noting the changes in handwriting and artistic technique. Heavy sighs, teary eyes.

if- contained

This week's topic reminded me of a movie my older boys have brought back from the past.

The long contained, the often imitated but never duplicated......

happy new year

I am filled with memories and resolutions. Reflective and thankful. I wish I could choose what things move forward in time and those that I could preserve. Between the calendar new year and the lunar new year, I find the suspended time. I write lists, buy calendars and look at photos. It all gets put in bundles and wishes. If only my children would slow down.

happy new year

I am resolve to giving more of my art to my friends and charities
