What to write? What to say?  Just wanna go back to bed and wait for inspiration to waft over me.   I’m not allowed to talk about the kids who are actually young adults now and deserve their privacy.  I’m not going to talk about any of my teen crushes anymore because I think Gavin’s reached his maximum toleration allowance for my silliness.   To me, Tara Cronica is always supposed to be about ‘finding lyrical beauty in everyday happenings’ and writing about it…or something like that.   When you have crap going on in your life that isn’t lyrically beautiful, but more like a barbell pressing on your chest, it’s really difficult to sit down and la la lahhhhhh, sing, sing! life is grand oh look at me I’m writing such wonderful things about the world!!!  Woop de doooo….

I won’t be phony like that.  OH! something terrific did happen yesterday!  I got a wonderful email from an artist I admire very much.  She gave me some fantastic compliments on the pieces I had submitted into the show over last weekend and suggested we partner up and look for a space to show together!  Yee Haw!  OK, that did make me grin for most of the day.  And my workout with Shirley was brutal but I felt amazing and loose and powerful  afterward so that was very positive.  Yeah, lots of good stuff in one day.  My stir-fry  turned out deliciously and the  Shiraz I bottled at Guildford Brewmasters (award winning U-Brew place) 10 months ago was smooth and flavourful and perfectly enjoyable (and affordable). Ah, wine!  You never let me down.

I’m trying to figure out a way to wrap this up with a point! ….. Do I need to make a point?  I’m not a TV or radio  host who has to have a reason for putting on a show, right?   It is what it is.  Slice of life kinda thing.  I will say I feel better even after these few moments of writing!

Today I’m going to be painting with the added bonus of knowing my work is appreciated and understood.  I’ll put on some fun music and hopefully I’ll be distracted enough by the tunes and the work at hand that I won’t think about the things that are not so happy happy in my world right now.

(Oh great, I just realized it’s thanksgiving in the States today.  LOL!   Ummm? Got it…I’m thankful for all my friends and family who give me love and support and trust me and know where my heart is.  I’m thankful for our good health.  I’m thankful for all the endless beauty in the world that inspires us to create our best life. I’m thankful for the Creator.  Svaha.
