Stregnth of the Ocean

-
It was so nice last week with the mild temperatures and walks on the beach. And, a walk on the beach is even better with a friend. But, this week I started out making lots of crafts using the shells. I have so much, I decided I didn't need to go looking for shells this week. Today is Thursday and I can't wait to get back to the beach for a walk. It does give me stregnth and good thoughts. Fills my soul with faith and clears my head, literally. It is so good for the sinuses! I wrote this a few months ago. I am not even sure if I shared it before. "The Ocean’s Power For every wave that comes ashore You show your power more and more Only you can take a piece of glass with it’s sharp edges that cause us danger Shining gleaming color and transparency and tumble them into something well rounded, frosted and hard to see with all the years and time gone by when they do arrive on the shore they are more beautiful then before When a piece of sea glass is found a gentle squeal of delight is the sound and maybe a little quiet dance of delight hoping no one sees me or is in sight Sea Glass sometimes you play hard to get But, it was love at first sight when we met I will never stop searching or looking for you, because just when I have my doubts, you make me believe with hope and faith with every wave that comes ashore you can bring beauty into my life once more." A couple of weeks ago I found a book about Sea Glass my mom had given me. It had a nice note inside. We really didn't share too much time at the ocean together. But, she wrote how she admired my love for collecting sea glass. It is harder to find. But, that means each piece found means more and more. Quote of the Day: "We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." John F. Kennedy Song of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsbaicQUdeM Under the Boardwalk Ocean Avenue Stompers. Loved seeing them play this yesterday at Bell Works. Hoping for some live music by the beach this summer!!!

A new dawn.....a new day

 I love Sunday mornings.  I love to reflect on the past week and look forward to the start of another.  What I learned this week painting, was what working on the minis, made me realize.  The first one I was looking at the flower more while painting and by the third I felt more free and the brush just took me to the painting.  I was in more of a flow.  So, the more time I take, the less I had to think about it, and could just enjoy it happening.  Like life, right? I learned from the computer there is a park in Roosevelt Island called Four Freedoms and currently has a staircase covered in a huge image of sunflowers in a field celebrating the 100th year of the womens' vote. It is also in Eleanor Roosevelt's honor.  So, I'll be sharing a lot of her quotes.  It was a good week for Ian as he was featured in a cover story in the Tri-City news.  Kaylyn  is busy working and taking good care of my grandson.  He is growing fast and has six big painful teeth already!   Love seeing all

Two Hearts Are Better Then One

Then in the beat of a heartbeat, (well, really two) our whole world changed.  Our world became a whirlwind.  We lived in the town where we went to high school.  We owned two homes in town and the one we lived in had a pool.  Our children were involved in every recreational sport they could join.  And, there was chorus, band concerts, and school plays to attend.  It was the good life.  I remember how emotional I would get at many shows.  I cried like a baby the first one.  Their recorder concert was another story.   Out of anyone in my family, I knew my dad would really enjoy it.  He was in the middle stages of Alzhiemers and I had to get up several times to bring him back to our seats.  That was the last show he attended.  We lost my dad when my children were eleven.  My mom and brother joined us every holiday.  We rarely went out unless we could walk there, and be close by.  And, we would go to fundraisers.  By the time the children were two, we were able to go on  cruises, and many

My World in Blue and White Project

This is a blog post about the first three months of 2021 during a pandemic. I am a work in process and have learned most of all the importance of living in the moment. I have learned a LOT from doing daily practices. Making goals in my Ebay shop. Learning about Women Artists and taking some classes. Clearing out the past of "stuff" in my basement. And, best of all being the best "4 year old self" possible. I am going to list Five links of Women who have influenced me the most in living life in the moment and creating daily practices. Their resources are mostly free and have endless amounts of inspiration. My main goal is to do this with the resources I already have on hand and keep the costs down as much as possible. I strayed away a little bit and it really taught me that is ok. Just learn from it and move on. I start my day with resources on the computer. Here are the five sites I use the most. I also have been able to take free workshops through z
