My son has just moved to Sydney. He really wants to live on Sint Maarten (Saint Martin). Hope one day he will realise he can do just that. Might actually go myself. He said I could come too.

I am heading for the British Virgin Islands next week for a week on a beach. I have been there several times sailing but only once at a resort. Nowhere since the jazz cruise sketches in the calendar.

What would I say if there were only six words to tell my story with? Well... to date I might say something like <em>I lived I loved I learned</em>. But tomorrow it might be something more like <em>my life is an open book</em>... but then I would be compelled to add the very next day <em>turn the page and read on</em>. I guess when we are at our best we are constantly evolving. That's what I like about flux. It makes us uncomfortable enough to get out there and do something about it. Thanks for making me think about it... :-) Anyone else want to give this a try? Oh come on... it's only six little words. That's not much across a lifetime! LOL John… have been thinking about those six words. What would I say if there were only six words to tell my story with? Well… to date I might say something like I lived I loved I learned.

Heck... you know what? We shall miss your happy company - period! Love the laughs... makes my tummy hurt. So for breakfast... what do you think... shall I make it sensible eggs... or buttermilk pancakes... or go all out with the banana bread raspberries and marscapone cheese drizzled with honey? Hmmm.... what to choose.... what to choose... (((chuckles))) Enjoy the weekend... have fun on the Coast! x Thanks Jackie… shall miss your happy company as we slog it out on Saturday.

Glad you did not use that music !!! I love that you can articulate what so many of us at times struggle with. Catch up when I return as I am sure it will be back to "Whites Bootcamp" - think of me at breakfast - Love Jackie x Jean – at last – and it was sure worth waiting for.

You are so very right. Life is nothing if not the universal struggle to simply get on with it the best way we can. We are all pretty much in the same boat. Your roaring back to the idea that "this is it" is a good wake up call. We do need to grab onto it and enjoy every thing we can... even the incredibly sad/bad bits because... as an artist you know as well as I... that it's the full spectrum of tonal values that delivers the most powerful punch in a successful painting. Without the dark there can be no light. Our challenge is to bring out that light. Trust me to give the artistic analogy... but you get the picture I know! LOL Six words? I had thought 100 words might do it... but six? Grin. I absolutely love what you came up with. That is profound. What a great exercise... Yes John. You are so very right.
