Have been so absent for such a long time.   Just had too many things to deal with over the last few years.   
          	First there was mom, dealing with dementia.  She passed on in 2012 and went join dad on the other side.   
          	
          	Then cancer invaded our lives and took my husband from me in 2014.  Lost my best friend and favorite pain in the butt at that time.
          	
          	That just leaves me and the cats now.  
          	While I don't exactly feel like my life is totally settled at this point, I am trying to face the new year with a positive outlook.  First off, by taking myself back to an unfinished piece of work I started way back when.  Maybe, just maybe, I can rebirth that self that found such a sense of accomplishment and freedom in artistic endeavors and writing.
          	
          	Best wishes to all of you in this New Year and good luck to me in trying to move forward ... C
