Now I realise how much I have missed. You have a gift of describing everyday events in your life in such a way that I feel as if I am sharing in it even though I am thousands of miles away. Please keep on blogging for a long, long time. I think you deserve every compliment from every one of your many followers.

I read a book many years ago (and re-read it a couple of times since) called The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron, it it was my own personal path from the creative desert to life as I live it now. It occurs to me that a book of people's "creative biographies" would be interesting - a storybook of the ebb and flow of creativity in their lives. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this.Tom Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068850208360958008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-85862278873038741712009-08-19T13:07:46.671-04:002009-08-19T13:07:46.671-04:00Glorious ToePhotoPourFrida!

I was living in a new town, with a new husband, and attempting to make new friends, but the saving grace has been my blog and reading blogs of others from around the country & the world. I am so happy to have found people with whom I can relate, who write well, have interesting things to say & wonderful images to see. Glad you are here.<br />LizzyCheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.com
