Tuesday's Grace Notes

Tuesday's Grace Notes
"I can't I can't...  oh yes you can!  Sometimes our setbacks teach us lessons more valuable than gold,  Teaching early morning voice lessons w/out an ounce of make up then brazenly heading to Publix for the first time in weeks due to illness and being told that my "face just glowed",  very sick in bed the next day to "pay" for it but sometimes when you have a chronic illness that's just part of the game....and worth every penny and wondering "can life get any better than this?

Everyday Art

Everyday Art
It's always fun to "plate our food" but it's even more fun to "plate our plates". A simple mix of blue and white china and fresh herbs and flowers from the garden. The food? A humble Tuesday night dinner of meatloaf, roasted fingerling potatoes and Ceasar salad.
Celebrate the day!

Sunday's Grace Notes

Sunday's Grace Notes
More singing engagements for piano, voice and guitar, finding hidden clothes in my closet that fit, reconnecting with my neighbors, cozy and overcast Sunday mornings, making up new recipes, and keeping a song in my heart.

Saturday's Grace Notes

Saturday's Grace Notes
"The best is yet to come", waking up to music and reading "The Help" in bed, teaching this morning's voice lesson and looking forward to a one hour art lesson this afternoon, brainstorming with friends to find creative solutions, working with hand and leg weights this morning, and the cooler weather.
Celebrate the day!

Friday's Grace Notes

Friday's Grace Notes
A loaded baked potato, the gift of the novel "The Help" from a close friend that owns a kindle and thought of me, my sister Michele shopping at Wal Mart for me, a weekend with scheduled art and voice lessons, finally getting my filing done, playing the piano late into the night, and my new sculpted piano box given with love from one of my oldest favorite piano students.

Tuesday's Grace Notes

Tuesday's Grace Notes
Going through flames and succumbing to "a peace that passeth all understanding, the simple joy of a favorite chair, miniature Kindergarten piano students, reading in the front courtyard this morning with Panda, meeting my new adult art student. They most often become good friends!
Celebrate the day!

Monday's Grace Notes

Monday's Grace Notes
Rolling 30 minutes down to shop at Publix this morning in my power wheelchair, forgetting my wallet, going home to do it all again and choosing to enjoy it anyway, beautiful morning!, fixing myself a big Cesar's salad with roast beef for lunch, walking sticks hanging out on my living room window, House Beautiful magazines and my Sheltie, Panda, opening and closing doors for me with a happy bark! I bought him some new treats!
Celebrate the day!

Friday's Grace Notes

Friday's Grace Notes
Visiting with neighbors, going to St Augustine, using my rolator walker, sleeping through the night, a new pair of jeans, reading "Eat This Don't Eat That" cookbooks, printing out coupons, being able to get in and out of chairs and cars, sending cards to piano students and a humble bowl of Raisin Bran cereal.
Celebrate the day!

Wednesday's Grace Notes

Wednesday's Grace Notes
My Facebook friends... a village of love and support, self reliance, my life of music and art, holding hands with Jesus and not letting go, soaking in the beauty and talent of other artists, taking the time to learn from others and daydreaming about going home from months in the hospital on Saturday.
Celebrate the day!

Monday's Grace Notes
Being told that I should be a comedian... now THAT'S funny!  Not over thinking things, using "Mrs Dash" to doctor up hospital food, Bible study, waking up... literally, Cheetos and the color Paynes Gray.

What a great day already!  I had an interview for PBS "Health Matters"(what an honor), Made a last minute ad correction with The Florida Times Union, a call from one of my "debtors" saying not to worry about the rest of my bill, talking to my sisters, seeing my daughter, getting my new Four Palms notecards ( really pretty through Zazzle) and the rest of the day free to paint!
Celebrate the day!
