Why am I not my parent's child?
Why am I not my siblings sister?

They are different, narrow minded individuals who love to gloat.

Who like to pick the bones from an argument, not once but several times and then before they spit them out they do it all again.

I'm not sorry.
I'm glad.
But still, it makes me think.
The musings and meanderings of a mixed media artist and yarn junkie who loves to knit,spin, crochet, make a mess, write and enjoy life. I try to follow the wheel of the year and enjoy each day of it. My art reflects that spiritual journey.
