Unspoken Words

 Today I had to go see a doctor and when my mom and I were leaving a man who had a brace on his left leg just like me opened some doors for us.

  I was looking at his brace...I realized he was looking at mine , our eyes met...we did not speak any words but I saw understanding, and curiosity...I think he wanted to say something but right then neither of us said anything.

 He opened two more doors for us which was a big help with the wheelchair.

I said thank you ...and my mom said thank you...he said he was glad to help.

 My Mom brought me out to the car and I crawled up into the seat and when I got myself up I looked out the window, the man was by his car watching me.

I think he wanted to tell me something , or ask me something.....He wanted to help me in some other way.

At least I think that is what he wanted to do.

He eyes spoke of kindness.

Right by the pharmacy there is a liquor store....there was a man in his car singing really loud some song , I realized it was the same verse over and over...I looked over there, I don't think he was drunk....his head was jerking around  and he started slapping the side of his car...his window was open.  The man was twisting around and making loud screeching noises .  I think maybe he had Toruettes or something.  He saw me looking at him so I smiled ...he smiled back and for a few seconds he stopped twisting and slapping ..for a few seconds we were just smiling ..then someone walked by his car and broke the spell ..the man grunted and twisted...his arm flapped in the air and that was that.

We spoke no words...but we somehow connected .

Sometimes a look speaks more than words.

This Post Simply Must Be Called Flower Power

  I have been using lots of different colored paper....And lots of different colors, lots more blending mostly because I ran out of some colors I normally use, I found out for the most part it is not really a problem.

 The above drawing is on cardboard...it was on the bottom of my paper so I used it!

 African Violet on orange paper...believe it or not I have no black but the dark blue on orange looks black and a greenish pencil that I used on the violet looked blue, the colors were different .

 This is on pink paper...if your wondering some of the rainbow vibes I have been drawing are somewhat based on how the flowers move, however some of my flowers are not from real ones , the rose on the cardboard is made up....but I imagined how it would move if it was real. Flowers move a lot, in fact I think of them as little creatures.

 The yellow rose is on blue paper....it made the leaves greener. The similar one I put on previously was on greyish paper.

This purple rose is on orange paper which gave it a nice glowing , warmish sort of look.

 I finally got rid of my headache that I had for days....I drank a bunch of olive juice from the green olives and I was feeling so much better.  I did this one other time and it helped then also.  My Dad and Mom think maybe I did not have enough sodium. 

I really wanted green olives .  Maybe green olives and olive juice is good for your head???

Art For The People and New Drawings

 I started making a bunch of smaller drawings to give away at an art show and I liked it so much I do it when I go places......They are sort of a business card in a way......In a way they are not, I put my blog address on there so people can see my other drawings...not necessarily for people to make requests...but I am happy when that happens too!

 The above red flowers are the most popular choice with men.....I let people pick which one they want and guys pretty much always pick these red flowers...of course none of the drawings are the same but if it has this sort of flower in it for some reason a guy will probably want it. Not always but 75% of the time.

 I like to have at least 50  ready to give away....I have gotten below that, I think I only have 40-something left, I need to get busy.

 The above flower is the Daddy rose.....because I made it for Daddy!

                             This orchid is watercolor :)

  I am taking a break from drawing really big rose drawings until my new pencils come in the mail...I have run out of a bunch of colors.

 Baby Ace got to come home on Sunday, I am so happy about that.

This week has been rather rough on me however, not feeling right and have had a headache for days .

About Prayer

   There is something about prayer that people don't seem to understand.

I hear people say sometimes that God does not answer their prayers....well the thing is sometimes God says no....sometimes wait, and sometimes He has different plans...sometimes He answers the prayers the way we want.

I think this is a good thing because if God answered our prayers the way we want all the time....it may not be the best thing.

Sort of like if you ask your parents something and they say no, most of the time (maybe all of the time) they have a good reason and want whats best for you.

 Yes ...this sometimes doesn't make sense...sometimes your parents seem unfair or just plain mean.

Sometimes we may think God is unfair or mean!!!

Sometimes we act like bad children who think they know better ....than God.

We don't.

I am not sure why people find this so offensive.   

Yes...I know parents are not perfect....but God is God.

I was not planning  to write this today but it keeps coming up so I feel I must.

Amazing Ace

 Last week...Friday morning I became an Aunt.

 Katie had baby Ace!!!

 I think he is amazing.

He has been sick but he is getting better, he inhaled some stuff when he was born.

Hopefully he can come home Sunday.

I saw him after he was born and later at the NICU.

Katie was talking to him and told him he looked like Ethan (his Daddy), Ace smiled the biggest baby smile.

Yes, I find Ace Amazing.

Thank you so much for praying for this little dude.
