I am so tired, tired in my bones.....tired of fighting and trying to change myself. Tired of trying to prove who I am. Maybe instead of resolutions we should give ourselves a pat on the back for everything we have dared to do the previous year instead of picking at our 'faults'. What is a fault anyway? Just a bad label for something? Who shoulds on us-well, ourselves mostly. So if I could, I would take an old chair from my past drag it into this field and lie there with the sun on my face listening to the quiet, all by myself...and the critic inside me would stay behind for awhile.....and maybe Mr Rogers would stop by for a while offer me his sweater and just sit quietly beside me-like a good neighbor......

Covered on the national news not too many days ago were the results of a study (French, as I recall). The gist of it was that it is dangerous to make New Years' Resolutions because to do so forces one to focus on the negative. BTW, the painting is stunning. (Is this what comes from being overly stressed? Maybe I need to get back to that kind of life! On the other hand, nah........)
