November 27: Happy Thanksgiving!




     Many thanks to all of you, my friends and visitors here, who have been such a wonderful support to me and my art process.  When I finally decided to start this blog, as a couple of friends had been suggesting, I had no idea what a gift this process would be to me - sharing my journal in such a public way.  You've all helped me stay firm to my daily commitment, and your support has been immeasurable as I've gone through the healing process post surgery.  The artist life is often a solitary one, but (as some of you know all too well) isolation due to chronic pain can be overwhelming at times.  Having this connection here, knowing you all were visiting, helped to carry me through those darker times.  For that I am truly grateful, and I thank you all,
Karin

  11. I've looked at this one quite a few times now before commenting...

    Because in this I see... life, the entire world, love, energy, movement...hope, joy, sorrow, and overwhelmingly, that none of us are here in this alone... no matter how much it might feel that way...

    Thank you :)
