Day 9: Stuffed Shirt
...or, What Was I Thinking?? This took all day, on and off. All those little stitches, all that detail. Lots going on. It's another of my much-loved, oddball gifts from my mother, a stuffed cat.
I listened to Tom Waits' Mule Variations for part of the time while painting today. I had to stop for awhile, because I couldn't stop sobbing over "Georgia Lee."
Why wasn't God watching
Why wasn't God listening
Why wasn't God there
for Georgia Lee.

Today's Lesson:
BREATHE.

Remembering my niece, Danielle Kelly,
a sweet young woman, a fighter with a big
heart. She left us this week, way too young.
