I love the light in this photo. I think this is stunning.

I painted 8 cards like this in a St. Patrick’s Day theme to give to people in the coming days who have been especially kind to me.
This is the card I’m leaving for my wonderful housekeeper tomorrow.

I was a ‘good girl’ today, doing my yoga stretches this morning instead of waiting until this afternoon, when I might make excuses and not do them. Changing my routine to exercising when I am the most alert is working for me, so I’m going to continue it. (Full Disclosure: I am NOT – I repeat NOT even THINKING about doing THIS pose… ) 🤣

Shout out to Cathy, who has undergone surgery this week. She is very dear to me and I’m hoping she will recover soon and be able to go back home to continue her recovery. My prayers are traveling to her as I type.

My head is exploding from all the ideas I have for what I would like to try in my art alcove lately. I want to play with leaf designs. I found a beautiful real leaf on the ground and brought it home to see what I could do. I’m also getting ready to try to draw one of the shadow images I talked about earlier. I’m thinking of doing images that relate to words or quotes or parts of songs I like….

Oh, St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching! Yay! And Sheela na gig Day too, which is the day after St. Paddy’s. It’s become special to me since learning about it in Ireland in 2019. Thus, I love your cards!
I am glad to hear that you’re doing your yoga stretches in the mornings! I will try that too! I will do that instead of the dancing that I have not been doing since pinching that nerve in my back, and now, I have something going on with two toes of my left foot! Ugh.
I got several lovely Facebook comments on what that might be and suggested treatments, but I will ask my chiropractor and see a podiatrist too, as I know I can’t ignore my feet!

Yes, I’ll give the cards to the ladies at the massage place tomorrow, since St. Pat’s Day will be over the next time I see them. I’ll carry the others for the cleaning ladies and the office, and will deliver the ones to the nursing home on Tuesday before St. Pat’s. I’m gla you think the cards are okay. The switching my exercise is helping me. I guess I was in kind of a rut, deluding myself that doing the exercise in the afternoon was a good idea for some reason. NOT! I hope that the change in timing helps you, too. Sorry about your toes. Agreed that consulting the professionals is the best idea.

Your cards are so bright and cheery. Everyone who gets one will love it, I’m sure. That is such a thoughtful gesture on your part, and it just lets the recipient confirm what they already know, that you are very kind and caring. (Donna)
