Giving thanks

Enough with all the doom and gloom out there! Upon the eve of this holiday weekend Thanksgiving, I’d like to take this slight pause to give thanks. Yes, Thanksgiving comes earlier in Canada.

I give thanks to my friends and extended family who are supportive and loving to me everyday. They support me in ways they are not even aware of and that I cannot even put into words. I owe it to them that I was able to transform myself and my life in these late forties. I give special thanks to my son who doesn’t take things for granted and appreciates both his parents, quirks, creative madness, warts and all.

I also give special thanks to all of you who have supported my art, my craft.

How lovely to get this in my mail box this morning. It is people like Elise who create great beauty with their own art and allow me to do what I love over and over again.

How wonderful. It makes me want to take a little leap in the air too …

P.S. Canadians : don’t eat too much and on Tuesday, October 14th, get out and VOTE!
