    For Lorisunshine.

    Hi Lori, just read your post in Weemelons thread about how you are somewhat of a sloth these days, well it reminded me of the following poem;

    Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
    to paint a picture, write a letter
    bake a cake, or plant a seed
    ponder the difference between want and need.

    Dust if you must, but there is not much time
    with rivers to swim and mountains to climb
    music to hear and books to read
    friends to cherish and life to lead.

    Dust if you must, but the world's out there
    the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
    a flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
    this day will not come round again.

    Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
    old age will come and it's not kind.
    And when you go, as go you must
    You, yourself, will make more dust...

    Just a few good reasons to do less houseworkl.. :H :H :H

        Dearest Louise,
        Thanks for that wonderful poem. It really says it all; but isn't it a total buggar that we have to earn a living, in order to afford the tubes of oils, the canvas, the books, the food for our bellies, well you know what I mean. Why do we feel so guilty, when we do pleasurable things for ourselves. I really have to work on that one.
        Love you buckets Lori

            You know something, since I stopped drinking I have so much lost time to grab back, I don't feel guilty anymore, and once you let go of those guilt feelings, everything is twice as enjoyable......

              Good morn Oirislaidy,
              you would be so proud of me. Hubby was gone to the big city all day. I let the household go all to hell. Dishes everywhere, nothing picked up. All I really did in the morning was post, call one client and then fed the cats.
              I painted allllllllllllll afternoon long, until the sunlight was too poor to see properly and I got the painting finished in record time. Ha. Imagine, nothing really bad happened to me. I just had to get up extra early this morning to catch up.
              Live is great.
              Love you Louise.
              Lori.

                Ah Fan,
                you know how to charm a budding artist.

                It is a landscape for a friend of mine. She had to move to another city close to her daughter and she was bemoaning the fact, that she will never live near a lake again. I had taken a digital photo of her shoreline last fall and I thought it would please her if she could take her view of the lake with her, so she could look at it every time she felt like it and yes, I like it too.
