This is the last page I did in my art journal the night I fell and broke my hip. I have been working in this journal for some time and wanted to try and finish it up that week. I was looking forward to starting a new journal. Little did I know that the journal I would start would start in rehab; involve physical and occupational therapists. Life is full of funny twists and turns.
Hope your rehab is going well. My rehab last summer was self induced by requesting my bunion to be removed while I felt I was still young enough to deal with crutches and the like. It wasn't fun but in the long run I'm glad I did it. Also hope Earl wasn't bad for you. Up in Hampton Roads we only got rain and not enough of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, happy, colorful spread. Amazing how "life happens when we least expect it". Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo glad things are improving for you! Wishing you health and strong progress.
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking of you and trusting that all is going well. :) Your journal page is just lovely! And certainly a perfect reflection of all that matters in life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful journal page. The girl is so lovely. And I love your theme. We should all do something similar - to make us realize what we trying do have!

That little girl image is just adorable! And yes life is full of twists and turns--literally it was for you!!

ReplyDeleteThere is always something about your art that strikes right to my heart. I'm so glad to be able to peek in and see what you are up to. Did you know, your blog is on my google homepage?

I don't mean this to sound 'flip' but my nan used to say "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
Best wishes
