Down.

There are days I get down.  Really down.  And as my husband has pointed out to me before, for me, it isn't a slow fade.  It's a slippery and quick drop......right down to the bottom.  I won't stay there long.  I get back up fairly quickly.  But for that few hours or days.....it's a pretty dark place.

I fell pretty hard a couple of weeks ago but, luckily, the next day I was on the way back up again.  One thing that always helps me gather my thoughts and get back on the mend quickly........besides my sweet husband rubbing my back and reminding me that the pit is only temporary, it isn't who I really am...... is painting.  And very often, I enjoy adding words to my paintings that help to lift me up and perhaps lift others up at the same time. 

So here is what I came up with.  

This painting was to remind me that the pit is only temporary.  And it always is.  I just have to believe it.

This one is for sweet Molly.  Who has a kind and beautiful heart.

This one is for Lilly and me.  Because we can hear the music.

And this one?  Oh yes.....this one is all for me.

Good night.
