Not so sad

I'm glad to be here too!

Incivility doesn't work for me either but I deal with it. I've had contact with many crude exteriors that have housed hearts of gold. On the other hand I've dealt with gracious gentleman all too happy to stab in the back. I've learned to not judge books by their covers.

The day my youngest son graduates high school the moving van will be backed up to my front door. Meanwhile, my family and the wonderful people I am privileged to have in my classes provide me with a terrific core of nurturing.

Also the museums and the auction previews at Sotheby's and Christie's provide me with the greatest teachers that have ever lived.

And of course, the meditative and nurturing act of painting always soothes my soul.
