    Awesome Yin Yang Helena. The dark side appropriately relating to the cold dull dark days of winter. And the lighter side the warmth of the tropics and the sun. The drawing Explains how life is in constant change and flux. Also it is a reflection of our mood which is in constant change and flux. I love the Yin Yang! Gary

    HB your Wednesday-Art really speaks to me. I feel like I have two sides too. The light fighting the dark. Light and Dark always fighting to a point for Balance. Here is my Piece... The Sublimnity of BloodLoss pastel on Grey Paper.

    George, I do like your Art and also speaks to me!, it has color and is bright, I probably need to add some color to my drawings, I spoke to my sister
    and sent one of my drawings, she was happy that I'm back drawing, but I think our art depends how we feel the ups and downs, more downs than ups. For some reason every day around mid-day I start feeling sad and my concentration is nil. I'm glad that we decided to share our Art. also this is keeping me motivated even in my constant loneliness, pen and ink is one of the ways that helps to continue day by day.
    Sending you love, peace and lots of cyber hugs.

    Thanks for the hugz and love.
    Did not want to create art today at all. This Wednesday thing motivated me. And your awesome symbolic work. After living my Best Friend suffering in pain and death I feel like nothingness and blankness most days. Like you way more downs than ups. Constant loneliness too.
    Much love and support from me to You!

    My f'd up headSpace right now is just geared to getting through each and every day. I can't handle the thought of a book or anything besides getting through 12 hours of Dialysis a week. I'm sorry. I try to be strong and ACCEPT stuff. It is so HARD!

    George,

    No need to apologize EVER!!! You need to do whatever is best for you!!!, TUTTAM!!! I’ll be here, all of our GIC “family” will be here for you too!!!, no matter what!!!, TUTTAM!!!

    I wish you could see yourself the way I see you, the way all of TGW see you…. You are so much stronger than you think you are!!! TUTTAM!!! (I really need to come up with something else, I have no idea what comes after stale, but whatever it is, TUTTAM!!! had reached this new level…)

    No matter how tight a grasp Mr. Grief has on you, you keep on fighting day after day after day after day, etc. etc., etc,!!!, NEVER!!! giving up, no matter how over the top physically and emotionally drained you are…

    YOU ARE TUGW!!!, TO THE ABSOLUTE MAX!!!

    I know none of what I just said makes you feel
    even the slightest bit better, but I just want you to know I’m thinking about you, praying daily for strength for you, for all of our GIC “family,” as we continue to fight Mr. Grief, as hard as we possibly can every day.

    As always, sending you zillions over hugs & love, wishing you peace, all of us peace. DEB

    George,

    Reading this made me teary eyed, but only in the best of ways... I LOVE!!! the "LIFE!" addition!!!, TUTTAM!!! (Sadly, can't think of a better way to express my feelings, hoping one day, I'll have one of those "light bulb moments..." Until then TUTTAM lives on, lol...)

    Hope you have one reason to LMSO today, but always hoping for more...

    As always, sending you lots of love and hugs, wishing you peace, all of us peace. DEB

    George,

    I need to get at least a few of the things on my daily to do list done, before getting some fresh air, a much needed walk, and maybe even some sunshine (if Mother Nature decides to cooperate)...

    The only thing I know for certain is that everything is subject to change. As Gary has said, all you can do is to keep on keeping.... Today won't last forever, although sometimes a day can feel like forever...

    Sending lots more hugs and love your way, wishing you peace, all of us peace. DEB

    Sending you a virtual hug Bro. You are the ultimate grief warrior (TUGW). I vote to keep TUTTAM also. It’s going to be in the 80s today and tomorrow. I’m going to emerse my self in Cheryl’s flower garden and pull more weeds and scatter mulch and watch for signs. I love you George. A trucking we will go. High ho the merry oh a trucking we will go.
