Wow, can’t believe Christmas 2018 is here and gone already.  Of course I do celebrate for a while yet, usually until the middle of January and Orthodox Christmas comes and goes, but realistically, those I celebrate with have mainly moved on.

Made some gifts this year and contemplating some for next year.  It’s always a challenge to get what you need if its seasonal and not available after they sell out after Christmas.

Was excited thinking about getting back into the studio to paint but this terrible cold caught me off guard and it will be a bit before I can tackle the fumes.

Time to finish the book I am writing.  Probably only a month of thought and writing and it will be finished except for the proofreading and then starting the submissions process.   I figure maybe about three more chapters to write.  And as everyone knows proofreading and revising is always better than the original write-  And everyone likes having written.

Merry Christmas all and Happy New Year wishes to all.  More later.  Love and hugs to all as we face this new year.  May it be your best ever
