Waaaahoooooo!! alllllllllllllrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite

today was a loooong day for my guy, so when he got home a little after 8, even though we were glad to see each other, we were both tired and after some quiet shared time, i snuggled in the blankets (he was burning up) and after awhile i realized that he was snoring softly, and i was W I D E awake...lots on my mind but no ONE thing, just flits and floats.

so i groped for my glasses, covered my guy, kissing him gently, and tiptoed down the carpetted steps.  as carefully quiet as i could, i set up my laptop and logged on, muting the sounds.  he needs his rest.

so i missed the WELCOME!!  You've got mail!  that sounds so much like a smiling game show prize announcer.  But, i soon got to sorting thru it and yippeeee!!!  dancing in circles, unable to contain my sheer unbridled joy, i had some outstandly great wonderfully joyous news awaiting.  i LOVE when that happens.

judi of heartsong land and her judges selected ME and my essay!!!!  i am going to be able to hang in my home her artwork.  and this thrills me beyond measure.

i am so very honoured and blessed, thank you, judi, from the happiest heart in j-land.

there are sometimes when words cannot adequately express my feelings and thoughts, but i hope this conveys just a fraction of the blooming in my soul.

i thank you all for the warm welcome to j-land....good sweet rest, hugs, debra

  3. Dear Debra,
    warm and well-deserved congratulations to you on your essay. Your essay was so emotive and evocative..... the essay took me along with you on this journey of discovery, and I was delighted to "share" the experience you wrote about. You have the gift of expression, and I am honored that my painting will hang in your home.
    I am still grinning because of your happy reaction....... your painting will be on its way in the next day or so.
    My best to you,
    judi
