Hi Blog,
I just saw the awful news about VA Tech and what went on there today. I teach in a small town, but a town whose culture revolves around hunting and guns. Every time I hear of a school shooting I wonder if our school will be next. My heart goes out to the students at VA Tech and their friends and families. May the Goddess bless them all.
After hearing of such things, my problems seem so small and insignificant. I saw my therapist again today after a long gap in time. I was having a hard time dealing with my health issues. It brought back the whole thing about the death of my parents, the associated guilt, and coping with life, death, and ill health in general. She helped me get a good handle on things. I should be painting for myself as therapy, which I will do in addition to working on paintings of Tabitha and other SG ladies. I appreciate the ladies here SO MUCH. I just hope I can do justice to their incredible beauty. I also appreciate the gifts my Goddess has given me. The ability to draw and paint, plus teach and help kids to find their unique voice and methods of expression through visual art. I feel blessed every time I get up in the morning!
Well, I have to return to my drawing board. The digi pics of the painting I'm doing of Tabitha did not come out well at all
They are off color-wise and they are way too blurry. I hope she will forgive me, I am NO photographer.
Hopefully, the next one will be better. One more stage, then I should be done
I hope she likes it...I am having so much fun painting it!
Good night for now Blog!

I am so happy to be back on SG and to write with my dear Keri. I missed her so much.
Wish you a wonderful day, D.
