Bonnie’s last blog post..Severe Weather Concern for Thursday

Bean, I share your dreams. I say share instead of teach, since I’m not officially listed as Teacher anywhere, anymore. And I will keep learning. My young friend says with a degree of awe, Did you know the more you learn the more you realize there is to learn? I nodded and smiled. It’s a great milestone for the young to reach. Life can’t be anything but exciting from there on.

Hi Valerie. Yumyum… licking the cookie crumbs off my fingers. Slurp — the coffee. Thanks! I agree dreams don’t always pan out the way we originally think, but that too is growth. At first it’s just the blocking in of shapes and values, adding color and detail as we go. Keeping the determination and sense of adventure always.

Thank you Karol — we all inspire each other to the next thought or painting, don’t we?

Sonya, a lovely description of your dreamed-of home. Have you ever heard the story of the man in the hospital, next to a window, who shared the visions outside that window to his roommate? There was a dividing curtain, so the roommate couldn’t see, but he saw inside his head.

When the first man passed on, the roommate asked if he could move to the window-bed. His request was granted, and a new roommate was put into his bed, beyond the curtain.

The man now next to the window looked out and saw only a brick wall, with just enough room for daylight to brighten. But nothing else.

His new roommate asked Please describe to me what you see? And he did — blue skies with a couple billowy clouds, kids and their parents playing in the park across the way…
All the things he’d been told when he couldn’t see, he saw mentally, and now he shared them with his new roommate.

No one can limit your dreams…

Hi Lisa! I have visited your site and will go back. I loved the poetry I found there. Anyone living in your area would enjoy reading and seeing your posts.

I wish you well with the photos — keep submitting! Then you too can be happily surprised when the second-place holder emails you a congrats. Submit and move on. Take the next. Submit to the next contest. That’s what I’m doing too.

Thank you all for coming by! And also for your good wishes on my painting.

My dream is going on right now, in the form of a photo contest. It definitely isn’t going as I had planned, but I think when it’s all over at the end of the month, I will have learned something. Right now, I’m just disappointed.

Congratulations on winning the protrait contest. I love it………………:)

Your barn sounds so inviting. My dream house is something like that: full of friends and open spaces. I can almost see the rooms, complete with the colour of cushions and texture of sliding panels (long story). Unfortunately, this is way impossible for us right now, and likely to remain so, for there is no way I can get that kind of space anywhere in this crowded city, not even if I were to win a lottery!

Is there any dream which is fulfilling me while still remaining unfulfilled? No, I don’t think so, but I see that this is one way I could change my perspective and make it so.

You always inspire me! Look, I brought a bag of magic fortune cookies to have with our coffee…

I love your painting, you have amazing talent and congrats on the 1st place!
