It's My Birthday!

It's my 59th birthday and I'm celebrating!  Not with cake or champagne (but I did have some ice cream)...but with a new blog!

(This was about a year ago on vacation to Yellowstone!  I was so excited to be there after so many years that I had to take a selfy)

My interests have changed a bit since I was last blogging regularly. I still do a few crafts but I've learned to do what makes my heart happy and that's usually art.

I've finally become comfortable with calling myself an artist.  I do mixed media because  I just can't seem to stay with just one medium when I'm creating so that's called mixed media, right? I love adding the unexpected!

I've also started doing some more professional looking (I hope--I spent a lot on that camera!) photography.  I'll tell the story of that on a later post and share some things.

I decided that today was a good time for reflection.  My life has changed a LOT since my heart transplant 8 years ago and I celebrate those changes every day of my life.  I have problems and there are days when I don't get out of bed with my migraines and other health issues but I still celebrate those days. OK, that's enough on that.  I'm here to think about the good days and hope and pray that I have more good days than bad.

So that's it for today.  I know I've said it before but I'm going to keep this blog going with my loves...art, nature, photography, crafts...who knows where this list will end!

Have a good day everyone!  Be kind to each other!!!

Love and blessings,
Christine
