		<title>Wishing to finally say good-bye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am working on things. Not an art project, not a house project&#8230; But a heart project. (That is either no surprise for anyone who still reads this blog OR the bomb that scares people off and sends them running. Because no one likes to be handed a bleeding, rapidly beating heart and be asked [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Process</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life is an endless process of growth.  Growing physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Sometimes we grow backward.  Sometimes we have to get re-nurtured in order to grow-up more.  At least, that is the case with me.  I am on a constant journey of trying to figure out my life&#8230; Inside and out.  I seem to want [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Boat Painting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finished a painting the other day.  It was months in the making&#8230; Well, sort of.  I had done most of it  in one sitting a while back, but then when I got to the boat I felt really intimidated.  Boats have a certain look.  They are shiny, detailed and at times textured&#8230; They breathe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, not the song from Cats&#8230; But the ones that haunt us&#8230; Sometimes in good ways, sometimes not so good. There are times when I want to just go back in time to when things were simple&#8230; Easy. Life was uncomplicated with responsibilities. Having fun was par for the course. Time was my own.  Spending [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bubbling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What do you do when you feel like all kinds of things are swirling around in your head? You have a load of responsibilities to family and home and work. You have little things that you want to do like read a book, meditate, scrapbook, garden, write a song, or organize your photos, or clean [...]]]></description>

		<title>Somewhere In Between</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s late.  I should be sleeping&#8230; But my mind is swirling.  Like a broken record, thoughts just keep resurfacing.  This world has sadness.  This world has chaos.  After sin entered the world it was never to be easy for anyone again. But sometimes I really wonder why things turn out the way they do.  Why [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unquenchable Thirsts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(When I started this entry I had no idea where it was going&#8230; Then it arrived in the place where my heart wanted to call out&#8230; And there it sat until the well was dry.) There is something creeping over me today.  It feels like a nice dose of emotional swinging.  I feel a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Doll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I watched a little video on Etsy about a doll maker.  I watched it with my daughter.  She is four.  She is an independent creature with a knack for the arts.  Anyway, as we watched I mentioned how &#8220;there were many things I would like to create if I just had time.&#8221;  Well, she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Awake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am awake when I don&#8217;t want to be. I have a terrible cold and needed antibiotics. Took the first one before going to bed. Not sure if I am having a reaction but I laid in bed for almost three hours before realizing that I hadn&#8217;t actually fallen asleep. My body kept waking up. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pouring Your Heart Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I feel like pouring out too much.  Most of the time I pour out too little.  The other day I poured out my heart like hot lava&#8230; It was so pure and dangerous I had to delete the entry.  There are some things people know about us that we don&#8217;t realize ourselves.  And then [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Maintainer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, we were working on the mural last week when these two guys that work for Septa came walking up the tracks and over to us.  They were all decked out in their work gear: bright orange shirts, jeans, hard hats, and work boots.  They began talking to us by saying we were risking a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh the Places You Will Go!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is my day&#8230; my birthday that is.   And a fine day to finally blog about something. There are many things I could write an entry on like my age&#8230; or my shifting time in life&#8230; or what I am learning about myself and the people around me. But I am going to write [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Few Little Things&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did a few little paintings.  Decided I should post them.  I think of them as mini fridge paintings.  They were fun and easy and, I think, nice to look at. I am also in the process of a watercolor for my hubby.  It&#8217;s missing a huge part: the main sailboat.  But I feel stuck.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Need a Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I need a life. My own life. My own thing. I need to find a way to make it happen&#8230; Sooner rather than later. PMS sucks. It really isn&#8217;t fair. Up and then down. Fine and then feeling that pull to jump in over board and swim into new waters. Refreshing waters. Waters that allow [...]]]></description>

And whatever comes next is, well, whatever it will be. Today we were supposed to be going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Here Comes the Sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I love sunshine.  I need sunshine.  I live for sunshine. Without it every little infraction on the day is quite simply exacerbated exponentially.  So I am happy to say the sun warmed my soul today.  It lifted my heart and blessed me in some way.  I am so thankful for it (especially since my kids [...]]]></description>

		<title>Surprise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, for Joe&#8217;s dad&#8217;s 60th we all pitched in to get him a nice Nikon point and shoot.  I made him a card with a painting of the camera he got.  The card read &#8220;G-pop you&#8217;re 60!  So smile&#8230;.  (inside reads) While you still have your own teeth.&#8221;  Cheesy, I know.  But funny.  :)]]></description>

		<title>That Which We Become</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, my plan is to archive my art history.  Anything I have that I have made through the years will end up in the Gallery.  I have works from high school on.  Although I have done a lot since early childhood, I didn&#8217;t really hang on to too much.  I think as I got better [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wal-Mart: Your One Stop Shopping Place for Bargains and Body Bags</title>

So I figured &#8220;Why not now?&#8221; &#8220;I recently heard about the horrific event that occurred at a Wal-Mart near Queens, NY.  An event that should at the very least send chills through your spine and cause you to second guess [...]]]></description>
