Hattigrace invited me to an art party a few weeks ago. Sunday night was my second. The mix of people is great - mostly untrained artists and I love to see how they approach work and the freshness of it. I wish I had some of that back.
We all commiserated and later laughed at an incident inspiring the Welcome to Kentucky painting. I loved it, also loved the lamp - anyway, it is a warm, fun time.
Last night I went to a friend's house who has began a business in nutrition and magnetics. I thought it would be worth a try. After about one and one-half hours of magnetic therapy, my body felt invigorated, balanced, and I was out of pain. This morning I feel different - there is a lump in my back and my toes are asleep, but no pain - I bent over to pick up something I dropped - usually the stellar test - and up again, and no pain. I know one treatment would not be a miracle, but in the meantime, I pray for funds to purchase the incredible set of magnetic tools to help myself. I have already studied this to some point, as magnetic therapy has been used on ADD/ADHD/Tourrets/ successfully. This is also a business, and I could get really involved in it - AND new friends turned up through it.
I have found that often, a friend will be there - but we don't see them as friends. Then, one day,years and years later, circumstances will bring the two of you together and a great relationship begins. Life is amazing.
Today I have to - well I don't HAVE to - go to Mobile to Doc Lovely's - I put on a couple of pounds, maybe four - as I had to drink oxygenated water and eat salt through the magnetics - but it'll back off. I would love to have one of those water machines - - - the energy the whole experience put back in my body was incredible. "H" looked at me like I'd lost my mind, especially when I told him how much it cost to get set up - but to be able to help people - to relieve sickness and pain through these tools....
Also took boy to the beach yesterday - I'm a nice latte color now - I was watching him play with some other boys, and to my joy, realized his ribs weren't showing through his front and back anymore - he looked like the other children!!!!!! Oh, much to be grateful for today. Because of all the birthdays, mothers day, etc. he has had way too much sugar and is addicted to ice cream everyday - we need to do some work on that. But a year later, and he's becoming a real boy, not a lost list waif.
Its six a.m. and the sun has reached a point where the grass is golden-green - its that early morning light that makes Plein Aire painters hooked on that type of painting. I'm looking at the palms - and thinking I want to paint - but I better go check in at the clinic.....
Have a wonderful day....

I have to admit those paintings are beautiful. I was going to ask if any of them are yours? If not its ok they are still pretty. Your grandson seems like any normal boy. Kids grow and get addicted to loads of stuff during the summer months. So do moms though. I love ice cream as much as they do.
You look beautiful!
I love that second painting. You could spend your whole life trying to paint like that and not be abl eto you know. Picasso did that...I think his last paintings are his best, loose childlike not self conscious...
It took me a few seconds to realize it was a lamp and chair. The lamp is so mystically painted liek a obelisk or sceptre or powerful occult object, what a hoot!
I agree with Tweety kids can go through so many phases of growth and weight...good to hear he has gained some muscle from good nutrition.
Maybe he could try some organic yogurt with fresh fruit instead of ice cream? Of course though...good home made natural ingredident ice cream is not entirely bad for kids they need fat for their brain developement...????
Hey cheers sounds like your evening with friends and giving each other lots of time and acknowledging the pain and letting it go worked a small miracle. Science doesn't know why these alternative treatments help people...but many of them do help. I think part of it is the acknowlegment and the idea of a positive change to relieve pain. I think it's unfortunate the practice may be expensive...but it is really about peopel communicating and getting together and hoping for peace of body and mind and that is always a good thing.
Candy, you are always so affirmative - and both of you thanks for the kind words. I'm going over to post about the outpatient today.....went ok!
PS I can't claim the lamp painting, alas - its hattigrace - I started the portrait - its not done -
I didn't mean, alas it hattigrace's, I meant "alas, I can't claim it as my own!)
You look FAB Gardenia!!
The 'Welcome to Kentucky' painting is very nice, with the feline going mad.
I hope one day you'll tell us the story (or maybe you have already and I missed it).
As for your grandchild being addicted to ice cream: Zorro is addicted to *Italian* ice cream, the one which is properly made with milk, cream, eggs, real fruits, nuts and chocolate, all then shoved in the freezer. When we were in my village he managed to eat 21 scoops in one single day.
It's funny 'cos he never ever eats ice cream anywhere else, except Austria and Germany (where the ice cream parlours are all owned by Italians anyway).
