A Dance to the Blue Moon

 

I wish you all, wherever you may be, the most wonderful New Year ever.  I hope that every precious dream comes true for you in 2010.

 

blue moon dance

 

For the start of this new decade, I’d like to paraphrase the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ellen Goodman……

More often than not, we tend to spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this blue moon year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives not looking for flaws, but for potential.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, MAY THE

POTENTIAL BE LIMITLESS!

    oh Tessa, first of all that painting....WOW, it flows and it is liquid and it has movement and vibrancy, I adore this piece it is so loose and beautiful. It really captured me straight away.
    I hope you have a 2010 that is as vibrant and alive and full of love as your painting.
    much love to you

    The painting is wonderful, Tessa. It reiterates your quality as an artist all over again. Oh, that's kind of double, isn't it?

    Have a happy new year and be healthy, wealthy and wise,

    hugs,
    Irene

    well i thought...
    nevermind, my brain has slipped into a ditch for now...

    what a brilliant quote for a new year, so true to walk about, making a list of boring things nobody counts as significant, including those making the list--why not make a list of the brilliantly beautiful dreams we have yet to bring forth but deeply want to, count the loves in our lives, the children who smile at us, the wrinkles that add up to one who has grinned through the groaning as we tote our lovely bodies around...

    anyway, i wish you a triple X infinitum rainbow colored new year filled with gorgeousness you have never seen, that drip and flow and make your heart burst with happiness, simply because i love you♥

I absolutely LOVE reading your comments. I just can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate the time you take to read my posts. To paraphrase Shakespeare - "I can no other answer make, but, thanks, thanks and thanks again."
