As I sit here in my "summer studio" and contemplate the year 2016, I can basically sum it up in "What a ride, not all good but all made me stronger and now I know capable of handling whatever life throws my way!"
  Yes, the last two years, every friend that told me 'You will be OK', 'things work out for reasons that you don't always understand' and all the many other inspirational words my friends passed along to me, I do now find to be true!  Peace to all.
2017 brings new beginnings and it is the peaceful winter days that remind me of how good life is!
This morning I shoveled out my 'summer' studio' so that I could spend a  wee bit of time painting by the good energy here in Door County!
As I was painting and jamming to some Van Morrison tunes, these words from one of his songs settled deep into my heart and soul:

Help me Share my load.
Welcome home.
Enjoy it while you can.
The the bright side of the road.
Help me Sing my Song.

I am wishing all of you a delightful Holiday Season and am sure that we will all have a fabulous 2017!
Cheers -
Ginnie
