Update from the World's most "Unfamous" Artist


Once again I am sitting at my "office", a.k.a. "The Hob Nob". I've been distracted from my story telling of the "Tropical Gypsy" only to say to myself' "Why not get Internet at my apartment?" "Nuff said.
The divorce is in it's final stages, just waitng for the papers to come in and sign. "Sad". Ah, well, such is life. I am beginning to realise "things DO happen for a reason". Albeit "hardtimes", goodtimes",..each is an opportunity for change. I reflect over some of my earlier Posts in this blog and can say, "Wow!" Thank my "Lucky Stars" I had the Internet , Friends and a Therapist! Although I don't feel it, or admit to it, but I can finally say, "I'm too old for this!"
My Heart (as all things do with time) has softened from the blows of "uncertainty". With not the Interests and Concerns and Kindness of Friends, who knows what my Heart would have become. I know of one individual (a friend from a long time ago) who lost a spouse decades ago and became one of the most "bitter" people I know of! This helped! I thought to myself I "never would become so vile" as to not greet each day with a "Thank You"!
What to do next? I have (erratically) began my short story detailing the life and times of the "Tropical Gypsy", a character I have affectionately equated with myself (I'm sure some of you have concluded that from the beginning). Too, I am in the "birthing throes" of beginning the pieces (some have been in the make for years) for my Art Show this Autumn. I have delved deeper into bringing my Design business to fruition. At the same time I have begun to "relax", not completely and not without some anxiety toward a still "uncertain" future. I certainly will continue to "air" my existence within this Blog in order to keep some of your interests piqued.
My goals?... 1. get back to Nicaragua before the end of the year to chronicle more of the "Tropical Gypsy" and to visit my Friends. 2. To have my Art Show and be it a success, or not, that will be the "hilight" of my Art career. 3. Also, this "thing" deep within my Heart, is to "connect" with my children and grandchildren before I "board that Sailboat ride into the unchartered Celestial Waters of Life's Continuance ". So, my Dearest Readers, 'nuf said for now. I will try to get back on track with my short story soon. Much to tell of "Jo" and "Celeste".
In the meanwhile, "Life is not like a Box of Chocolates", Life is like the most delicate flower; It grows, blooms and dies. It is how it is painted and remembered at the time of it's departure and thereafter. I bid You all, LOVE!
