I think I'm just struggling to still feel useful. I can't due much anymore due to disabilities I've accumulated from a bout of Transverse Myelitis and the MS.

So much of our self esteem is tied up in our sense of purpose and what we can do for others, and I can't do very much anymore, even my brain doesn't work right anymore. So I guess I paint because I like having hope that someday if I ever get good enough I can still have something I can give to others that they would like.

And now I am even more inspired!


I am a 3 D kind of gal and really struggled in art classes with 2 D projects.

Oil pastels were my break through paper type medium I am sure I am still technically quite poor at it, but you motivated me to think about giving it another try.

Good thoughts for your health challenges! Going to take a trip next week and hopefully get the pastels out when I get back!
