I remember when daughter started Kindergarten, her teacher had her draw a self-portrait and then explained to me how my daughter saw herself as a thinker (big head) and some other stuff I no longer recall. I always thought of this exercise as interesting. <br />You will have the wonderful luck selling!<br />As for bodies, every single day I have to consider how I move so as to not hurt my back or rip my thin skin. My work is so physically demanding...well, it is just a lot. I'm sorry for your pain (you too Marti)...backs are the worst! Well, and knees 😉 J. had a bad back event on Thursday (must be the week for it!)...but then Friday he woke up feeling much, much better! Who knows.<br />may you sell well, and ride off on your bicycle (even if in your mind)<br />xoNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185798765137874091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-56684929624308763022022-06-03T22:26:04.582+02:002022-06-03T22:26:04.582+02:00Oh goodness … how fragile our bodies are these day...Oh goodness … how fragile our bodies are these days … may you find the right balance of rest and movement on the way to wellnessLiz Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397660873950991774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254503312795252536.post-52263993725895064292022-06-03T22:24:00.535+02:002022-06-03T22:24:00.535+02:00No luck needed for your tree of life paintings wil...No luck needed for your tree of life paintings will enchant all who see them. Much success to you at the Fair, Saskia.<br /><br />I am sending a healing hug to you for your back; I am sharing in your pain. Earlier this week, I decided to move around some of my pots in the patio and then I moved the very large table and chairs and did some heavy seeping of the many leaves and tumbleweeds that had come from the fierce winds that we have been having. I bent and twisted my right side...two days later, I woke up having a heck of a time moving my right hip and lower back. I am using arnica cream, hot pulsing showers and even putting a splash of Irish whisky in my coffee...Today, I am moving a little easier but I simply need to remind myself that I am 74 yrs old. With the exception of doing a little dancing now and then, I am not as limber or as flexible as I used to be...Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305881181604750937noreply@blogger.com
