Alone

Trying to go through life doing my thing, and being strong.  Trying to reach out there and grab what I want; I reach, I stretch, I try again and give it my all.  Still at the end of the day, and no matter what I have done there's only one and it's very lonely.

A couple of months ago I decided to attend our stake's single's family home evening.  Here is where it becomes difficult.  I try to do something so I am not alone, only to have my mind reach out and slap me  to remind me how alone I am.


However, because I did  attend fhe, a sweet friend asked me to go to the temple with her so I did.  It was so pleasant to not have to go alone and to have someone to visit with.

My Dear Readers:
You are probably thinking, "wow will she ever be done posting pictures of her cruise?"  The answer is no, just be glad that I am blogging them so you don't have to sit in my living room pretending to be interested!!!

Cruise 2010: fine art sale

On the ship there was a professional artist who gave a class on water colors.  I was so excited.  So, Janice and I went to the class.  My picture was soooooo good that they featured it in the art gallery...notice the little sign above my masterpiece...

Every year I paint pillow cases for friends and family.  This year I didn't get too many done, but I did continue the tradition of painting one for each of the grand children:
