Thoughts

I found out today that yet another friend has cancer . This friend is so young . I seem to be surrounded by it lately . This friend I am worried about . This cancer can be very bad . I will keep her in my thoughts and in my heart . I was chatting with another friend about a group I used to be on . I loved being on this group but I became friends with a very mentally ill person ( I didnt know that at the time ) and ended up getting badly hurt by her which of course being in a group setting didnt stay between the two of us ( not my doing ) so there were alot of bad feeling toward me . Even though I didnt and still dont know what I did to this person for her to turn on me like she did . And I have since learned that she had and has since done this to many on the group . But anyways that is water under the bridge as they say . She was saying to me that alot of people have said that they miss me there and would like me to come back . that this hateful person isnt around much any more and that there alot of new people on the group and it has change alot . But I honestly have moved on and just dont think I want to go back to that again . I dont know why its so hard for others to be friends . Whats so hard about being a friend to someone . You either like them or you dont . Why go to all the trouble to getting to know them if you dont like them in the first place . LOLOL Any ways . all for now .

My first post on my new Blog

I decided I would start a real blog .LOLOL One I would write in as well as post photos of my art and of my life . It seemed like the right time to do this . I had another one in LJ but this pass year I just havent posted in it and my 360 blog I only post photos of my art projects I have finished and I dont say much . I am a women of few words though so I hope i can find enough to keep this one moving so to speak . LOLOLOL. I have been an artist all my life , painting and drawing since a child . Both my parents are painters as well as my grandmother . So it has followed the family lines . I did watercolor and pen and ink in high school and then dabbled in it again in my 20's. then in my 30's I went into tole painting off and on . When Hubby and I moved to Va from new Hampshire I went into Tole painting full time and painted to sell for 18 years at local art and craft shows . I retired from painting in oct 2004 simply because I was sick of it and want a change and also wanted to try and explore my inner artist and try new things . Boy I am glad I did . I love mixed media . And I discover a whole new world of art and artist on line . Its been a wonderful learning process for me . Well all for now .
