Resolutions

I have been so busy lately with work and making Christmas gifts, and the house, out of town trips, and (OH NO) the Scrabble App on Facebook, that I haven't had time to update my poor, negleted blog. However, I am going to do better in the new year. Along with being a better friend, daughter, spouse, and mother to my two felines. Along with just being a better person in general. I am going to try to remember that Helen Keller only had 24 hours in every one of her days, and look at what she accomplished in her lifetime. I am going to get back to my watercolors, and back to perusing blogland, where inspiration flows like a river, and remember how very lucky I am to partake in all this joyous beauty.

My First Blog Award

I am so grateful and flattered that Paula at Tattered Gold gave me the following blog award.  My very first and I love it,because it's from someone with a truly gorgeous, thought provoking blog, and a beautiful heart, and also, just because the award itself is just lovely, lovely. 
I am supposed to pass this on to 15 lovely blogs.  So after much thought, and because all of these blogs and bloggers are friends, artists, inspirational, beautiful, touching, soulful, gracious, and truly lovely, I pass this on.
Just copy the photo of your choice, add it to your blog and pay it forward.

Once upon a time, far away, and long ago, there were three young girls who listened to Pink Floyd and called themselves Moon.  They shared secrets and dreams, and  always knew they'd stay friends forever.  Well, forever is a long time, and it's here right now.  Live it.  Love and Peace forever, your Blue Fix

Blog Block Apology

Open up those windows and start fresh.

I can't believe that it's been nearly three months since I've done a blog, and can't really explain why. It's been a very strange time, but I'm determined to get to all those bloggers that I have come to consider friends. All of those blogs that inspired and fed me color, and light, and joy. I can only apologize to those of you who emailed me, and thank you for your thoughtfullness and caring. I'm determined to make a fresh start, and hope to do better, and thanks to all of you who have not given up on me.
