  1. I dream of it too. It is such a difficult thing to master sometimes I think that true happiness is a balance or harmony between every part of your life: health, family, career. Thank you for the wonderful quote!

  6. oh sweet melissa ...
    how you find these images that invoke such feeling simply stuns me ...
    remember the one you posted, oh maybe last fall ~ the painting of the women dancing on a rooftop? there was so much freedom and joie de la vie ... i swear i wanted to paint!
    now ... now with this statue which gives me the most serene feeling, i have this unbelievable urge to sculpt!
    but first i ought to give quiet thought to henri's words ...
    thank you, lovely you ...
    have a most delightful weekend!
