Thank you Greenfields
Wise as always. I have not felt certain about something like i do about painitng again (and bloggin of course). it is a great relief because i had lost the will to do things or even want them. I most certainly feel like the worse is over.

Proc, you brought tears to my eyes
I thought i was the only prodigal artist/writer around, we hear so many stories of people advancing in leaps and bounds it is frustrating to feel that things are not happening fast enough, especially if you are laboring with stigma of being a mother/housewife. i agree with you totally and i envy you daughter for having parents like you who are not frustrated with her choices in life. God bless you my friend and as the Arabs say: Allah Yfarhek fiyya (may God bring you happiness by her way).

I am sure
it's been a great re-union and for yo to have al lthose feelings come back - highs and lows. But, sometimes life is like that, and I am sure that sometime in the future, if this is what you really want to do, you will do it.

lindo this such a beautiful sensitive piece of writing. You really speak to
my soul. My 24 year old daughter is an artist like you, a talented singer/performer. At the end of last year she completed her degree in performing arts. All people who know her marvel at her talent. But shes always been inconfident of her incredible talent. Shes humble,not pushy and ambitious enough. But she also dislikes the fakeness of the entertainment world. So she is slowly building up a reputation as a performer and works part-time as a waitress. Her dad and I see the wisdom in growing into her craft. But young friends can be so unkind wanting to know why she's not up there yet. You will get there ,make your success when its your time. That great potential isnt lost. Sometimes lifes choices take us off the road but then we come back better . I think your friends and you will be better artists when life has worked its vast array of harshness into the fabric of you
r lives. Unfortunately artists seem to do better when they ve lived and suffered a little.
