Who am I?
I stop to think about this quite often. I stop to think about this nearly every day. As I pause to think on it I realize I am constantly growing and changing. I learn so many new things every day - about myself, about the world around me, about life and all its pieces, including death. Though there is so much that changes there are also parts that seem constant - love surrounding me, wonderful family, and wonderful friends. The people that love me may change, the amount of that love may change but there is always love.
This is a year of many celebrations for our family. Greg and I both turn 50 this year. Our daughter turns 16 in September on the 11th. My parents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and Greg and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. While these celebrations are note worthy I also try to remind myself that every moment, every day is a celebration.
Angels be with you as you celebrate the moments of your own life,
Wendy

My parents on June 24th the day of their 60th wedding anniversary.

Spoiled or very loved? The top picture is of the card my very dear Greg gave me for Christmas. He wasn't planning to get me a card but this one absolutely caught his eye. He is a man of very few words but many ideas. He can usually know precisely what is important, especially when it comes to technology and machines. Occasionally he surprises me with his perceptions of what's important otherwise, matters of the heart. I think this card was the most beautiful gift I got for Christmas this year.

The reason I say spoiled is because we also got a new computer for Christmas. That was not really a surprise. This one is old - 98. It's very slow. We worry about me losing some of my work, some of my writing. We worry about it crashing. I got the computer as a gift. We have another computer downstairs for the past few months. Because my husband is the main computer person at his work place he was able to retrieve a computer from the recycle stash. He and Cat know I have first dibs on the main one. Lucky me. Greg will probably start setting it up tonight.

I've also included a sketchy sketch done on blue paper with mainly white. I did it to show a friend of Cat's. J. enjoys art but is not so much into whimsical or collage. That's OK. She's only 14 and is from a family somewhat set in their ways. I'm glad she is able to do as much art as she is. She is very talented. Someday... The piece is another WIP (work in progress). I may be showing many of those because of "should."

Happy New Year to all.
