Having to be dependent on people does make us be kinder, doesn't it? One day at a time. I love this piece. Amazing how your style is still there even digitally.Melody Clearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793115141011175217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-80438202192497418572017-03-15T04:26:20.483-07:002017-03-15T04:26:20.483-07:00I'm taking care of a sick husband and it has m...I'm taking care of a sick husband and it has made me kinder too. I'm much more appreciative of him. Somehow when bad things happen we gain wisdom. The good times don't cause such growth somehow. This will be behind you in a year and will make a good story. Just keep doing what you must do to get feeling better. The paintings will come again.

That about sums up my own fears too about my health and the aging process.<br /><br />My own experience tells me that it's hard to know what transformations will take place as a result of being gravely ill. You think a certain change will happen (I'll be kinder, etc.) and the truth is that you just can't predict things. In many ways, you simply stay the same. But look for the unexpected changes:) That is what ultimately brings back some joy.<br /><br />I am very glad that you have such a solid support base and good care. What a true blessing for you.<br /><br />Take care-the IPad drawing is electric!<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-58053260823609725142017-03-14T20:55:58.118-07:002017-03-14T20:55:58.118-07:00You are on the mend - and you are so worth it!

Hope you got my last card and that my odd sense of humor doesn't offend. I love the iPad painting and know the brushes will be back in your hands soon. I had to smile when you said it will make you kinder - I thought that after my health scare but I'm the same impatient and crabby woman! Oh, well...I also have some good qualities which, I hope, balance things out. And I believe you are already very kind and caring - you can't hide that from those of us who have been following your blog for a long time. Spring will arrive, you'll be out walking soon (in the meantime, winter has landed here again instead of spring).RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.com
