We are not the same persons this year as last....

 

"...nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person."

- W. Somerset Maugham

Been nearly a year since I last wrote in this thing.  I woke up this morning (yesterday morning, now), I need to write.  In the journal I keep near my bed and in this, too.  And I will be.  Been working (a bit); training regularly and painting.  Been very dedicated to gouache painting.  Like everything else I'm interested in, determined to up the skill level.  I'll post a few samples of what I've done, here.  

Things around this town are beginning to stir.  Reopenings abound.  Vaccinations happening.  Since December, I've been part of a vaccine trial.  Third phase and due to the results of a antibody test, it looks like this gal was hit with a COVID vaccine! 

I'll go into detail about that and some other things in a later post. I'm tired, its after 3AM and I need to sleep.  For a bit, at least.  I'll end this with some gouache sketches and paintings.  And I'm loving gouache! 

And so I go to sleep - finally. For you, always remember to fall asleep with a dream and wake up with a purpose.  Good night!

Word of 2021 - Love (I'm gonna keep this word for this year, too)

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." 

- Victor Hugo
