Best laid plans...

It never fails.  Whenever I comment that I plan on posting more often, something happens. 

This time, my Dad took a tumble and broke his shoulder (he'd fallen at our house less than a month ago and broke a rib).  Because the initial physician reading the x-ray didn't see the break, it wasn't until the radiologist took a look and made the call.  So, I was certain I'd be on my way again to my home town to stay with his dog and be his advocate at the hospital.  Fortunately, the break wasn't 'serious' and surgery isn't necessary. 


I'm sure many of you reading can relate to the worry that is next to impossible to overcome when an elderly parent is suffering. No amount of meditating or 'affirmations' or prayer seem to alleviate entertaining the possibility of that worst case scenario.   FEAR - my nemesis.

I've also not taken a serious step toward some of my 'planned' sustained art, and instead fell back into a comfort zone of doodling digitally.  Right now, I'm really again not certain which direction I will go - my muse is being very non-committal.

But I did manage to get one of two tarot cards I've signed up for for a Steampunk Tarot Deck Artist Collaborative and have 80 of the cards now laser printed, ready to cut out (Yeh...not!)
