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
I stand by my comment after reading you entry the first time.....BRAVO!.....Anne
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I'm jealous as all get out, but your essay was wonderful. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your painting.
ReplyDeleteDear Debra,
ReplyDeletewarm 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
