Got a bit of motivation...

There seems to be a very fine line between feeling unmotivated and somehow grabbing a moment to just move and do something....not sure if this is done....but felt good to just hang out with some colours.

Had my first real outing yesterday!  Terry and i headed up to Sydney for lunch and some shopping!  Managed to move around Value Village, at a snails pace....will i ever remember what it is like to walk normally!!!!

But i love it when you find something, or more importantly someone, to help you move past some of the self pity feelings!   Walked a long way thro the Mall, main purpose was to find the Lonely Planet Guide to Costa Rica....we're thinking that might be our destination this spring!!  so feeling very done in and sorry for myself, i headed to the food court to have a coffee and wait for Terry.   Sat down at a table with a young woman who looked friendly!   Well of course as often happens, particularly here on Cape Breton Island...within 2-3 minutes we were chatting away with each other!   she was waiting while her daughter went shopping....turns out that at the young age of 36 she was diagnosed with MS!!!   wow, i just sat and listened to her story of discovering that she had this crippling disease, with 2 young children!   talk about a reality check for me!!!  i keep thinking about the message i got cos i choose her table to sit at!

some technical details for those that might be interested!  Rosapina printing paper, 28" x 20"....lots of layers of pastels, gesso, ink and more pastels!
