PERSEVERANCE

To my prior faithful blog readers, welcome back to my world.  Not all of you know the reason for my putting a halt to my writing, so I shall let you in on the unfortunate experience.

To put it in a nutshell, after 15 years of blog writing, my blog and I were harshly slammed (by a lifelong friend through emails and personal letter) for my political preferences.  The experience shocked and hurt me to the core, the friendship disappeared, and my bruised heart tossed writing to the winds......not a wise thing for me to have done.  Writing has been my passion since a little girl, and I'm gonna be true to myself, no matter what anyone else thinks.  It's called perseverance.  Please know that I welcome blog comments from my readers.  Absolutely love 'em.

Since my last post, I've celebrated a milestone birthday, have been tangled in artsy projects while Covid has had us spending a lot of time at home.  The world has been kinda like the old game of 52-card pickup.  Lots of turmoil out there, making this a divisive time in history.  Each of us adapts to the societal changes in our own way.

Prisms and polka dots was inspired by the sparkly sun catchers that I design.  Every day when the morning sun comes through our east patio doors, we have prisms and polka dots and rainbows dancing on our walls, floor and furniture.  Vintage jewelry is the inspiration for my sun catchers.  I order on e-Bay, buy in thrift stores, discarded vintage jewelry.  I take the pieces apart, thoroughly clean, and give every bead, brooch, and chain a new life.  To give an idea of what I'm talking about, here are a couple of photos taken a few minutes ago.

So much for today.  Wanted to publish a post so I can resume where I left off.  Sometimes it's okay to take a break, prioritize our feelings and get a fresh perspective.  Ta-ta.
