My new start didn't happen....but trying again.....


I don't know what suddenly urges me to come back to my blogspot but here I am again and I see it is almost a year since I decided to "start again". What happened? I am not sure....I think I just sort of completely withdrew into myself, I can't say more. Anyway I am back to try again, we will see. I hardly drew or painted at all last year but have started again now, thanks to Tamara Laporte's wonderful Lifebook which I decided to enrol into again this year in order to make myself make time to paint again. Art is such a solace and I am wrapped up in it once more. I have a few pictures to post but will start with this journal page. It is the result of a melancholy day thinking of when my children were very small, all the wonderful moments which were fated to become shattered for us all when their father left and we lost our home. Things were hard but eventually sort of worked out. Nothing is perfect and I am still consumed with worry about them but they are all beautiful, kind, honest people who try hard and work hard. I am so proud of them for they had such a difficult upbringing. Now I have three beautiful grandchildren....in the same order as my children as it happens ... boy - girl - boy. I have a lovely husband too who is a wonderful stepdad and a beautiful grandad. I will try and keep my blog us this time......
