Wednesday - Three Beautiful Things


1. Wonderful Fall day in Washington, DC area today. This city is beautiful when it highlighted with colorful foliage and bathed in yellow sunlight. On a day like this I feel grateful to be surrounded by such wonder.

2. Meeting at American University for our painters' critique group with Professor Emeritus Luciano Penay. His eye is magic - and he opens our eyes to our own and each other's paintings. We are a group that has known each other and our work for a long time and that knowing is warm and comfortable - an artists' community.

3. Jim and I took time to sit outside in the sunshine at Starbucks and enjoy being together - always a highlight for me.

and - the example of a friend who is bravely facing chemo and not letting it stop her one whit. Hugs and prayers for all the women who take breast cancer in stride with grace and courage and show the rest of us how it can be done if you have to.
