I tend to get a bit melancholy during the holidays, always grateful that I am still able to enjoy them, still able to prepare for them through my weakness and pain. My pain is important…how I evade it, succumb to it, how to deal with it, and transcend it. It’s a part of my life that is me. And I always remember the most comforting of words that this too shall pass. I try to live my life with a joyful spirit, as that is something I can control. I remember Proverbs17:12.”.A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” With that being said, I want to take this time to thank all of you for helping me keep my spirit alive. You truly have been a blessing to me in so many ways with words of encouragement and well wishes. Finding this place was no accident.My path led me here, and it has been very rewarding. To know all of through our passion for art is how we met, but our hearts kept us friends. This work is dedicated to all of my friends on RedBubble. You helped me to grow as an artist, and heal with your support during the dark days. “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us.”(1 John 4:12) Peace, Light and Love be yours in abundance, Cynthia
They lost their small farm in Oklahoma due to a couple of crop failures , the high price of seed and a well going dry . As most small farmers they were always a little in debt , but with a new harvest they were able to pay off their debts and save a little . Then came a couple of bad years . They applied for help from the government . They were denied . So they came to California with two children seeking something from the Golden State . They are living in a small motor home that someone gave them . Being a farmer he knew nothing else and then came the big layoffs and now he has no chance . / Tomorrow we are going to take the whole family to Pasadena for one of the largest ” Pot lucks in the park ”. Everyone brings something . And there are about 1600 homeless who come to the Thanksgiving event . No one leaves hungry . Perhaps I can hook him up with a job there .
