to all my creative friends

I have always been a pretty upbeat person so this assignment, approaching my days with a spirit of gratitude, hasn't been difficult. It is said that if you are in 'want' much of the time you are probably lacking gratitude. Anyway, today I wanted to tell all my friends and family how grateful I am for them. In particular my creative pals, muses, partners in crime!

To my writer friends - Alisa tops the list for our two years of work, hilarity, tears, anxiety, fun and laughter. I THINK we co-wrote our novel in '93 to '95 or somewhere in that range. Though we aren't published with the novel FINE TUNE yet...it was the best of times!

Cheers and thanks also to Nancy, Nano, Kathy, Sigrid, Kim, Howard, Marquel, Everett, and many more writer friends. What fun we have had putting our words on paper.

And then there are my painterly pals = Angelica, Laura, Nancy M, Stephanie, Carol and Janice, Mita, Anne N and others. Aren't we a colorful bunch of broads. :-)

My life wouldn't be the same without firing up my imagination and sharing good times with all of you.
