Day 21

I hope this is Day 21.  2 days skipped and T-day. I am sure this is day 21.

"My friends are my estate."

- Emily Dickinson

This is a self portrait I imagined of my self as an old woman. 1994.

At the beginning of this week I experienced a rather scary arrhythmia with my heart that is still coming and going. Strong weak, skipping beats. Scary. I think it is related to caffeine, and possibly sugar. Both of which are weaknesses. It has made me consider what I need to concentrate on. I liked the quote because I feel that my friends are my estate, but in addition my artwork is my estate. Both are the only things of real value I would leave behind. 

But keeping everything in context is important. Life is good, the weather was beautiful today, and I spent time in the garden, took a nap. I am making turkey soup.  Tomorrow I will rise early, go to the laundry mat and do a few loads of laundry. I don't have to work. I will finish a couple of projects I am behind on. Study for a quiz.  A rare 4 days off. Perfect timing.
