Magic Moments-Now

We each must do our best with the opportunities we are given even when they seem beyond us.

I know I can,

I don’t know how

for my readers who can’t know all the particulars i will have to spend less time painting and posting to this blog in order to make more time for the house but i won’t disappear. I’ll still be here and listening-
