Thank you. I owe much to @romanie and @stef1 and @ibizaki and @o1eh and @petface and @serap and several other good people who bother on any day to witness my angst and contentment.
Happy new Year!

Muchas gracias and Happy New Year to you also!
I'm sorry I can't keep up with all your posts, but I'll try do my best; they are always interesting, but you have competition elsewhere: I'm somehow addicted to some youtube channels and it's all too much in the end. :-)

You’re right. Keeping up can be a drag. I told you winter is a problem at this latitude. 10°F warmer and I’d be digging in the dirt, not searching for words and relevancy online. What else is there to do in the gray? Paint, eat, blog. Thanks for even taking a look. I’d rather be in the pines helping the carob trees breathe:)

Contrast. This morning I met a friend 2 minutes down the road from home and... you're already at the beach. It was hot, we were walking in t-shirts. The sun was strong, no wind. After a while walking by the coast we thought we might take a bath in the sea, but we met another friend and sat in the sun in front of the sea and chatted for a very long time. I had to keep moving out of the sun, so hot it was. Then, some dolphins came close and started chasing fish up and down inside the bay.
That's what I mean with not easy to keep up!

That is a problem I could stomach unto death.
Today I ate a bowl of cereal, painted in oils, cooked a dinner, and felt like I gained 7 pounds. Or are they kilograms where people are happier?
I prefer your setbacks!
The friends I have, thankfully, and they stop by. We drink a pint or two, and put on the weight.
Oh, but that sun... By February I’m begging for it!

Congratulations on your well deserved success! Your art is wonderful and your posts are worth reading! Lately there have been so many and I´ve had so much going on around here over the holidays I feel I´ve lost track... I´ll soon catch up! Happy New Year! I´m sure you will be enjoying a wonderful feast !

And congratulations to you too!

I must say I don’t like my art very much, nor my writing, however, I do relish the process. And I am VERY honored that you engage with me and accept the expression no matter how off-scene it gets at times. Thank you.
May 2022 be a wonderful, peaceful year for you and your favorite husband:)
