Sentiments

 

I spent most of a day going through all of the cards sent to me and that I made and kept for later use. After reading them and filing them away for safe keeping it left me with a sense of calm thankfulness. The quote above is correct in most cases but not all cases. There are those individuals that put their hearts into the cards they send out. The sentiment, verse, poetry or whatever they created or chose the for the card was from the heart. They may not even have much else to give so they send out a card. To not appreciate or be thankful for the thoughtful gift of that card would be a travesty, a slight to the beauty of the heart of that person. I realize there are those that send cards for other reasons and purposes but there are those who send cards and choose sentiments from the heart. Our blogs are much the same as cards we create or purchase and send out. They are a sharing of self that can't be done in any other way. For most it is not possible to travel to where others live and meet in person. Card sharing and blog sharing give us a way to share ourselves with one another. I don't know about you but it is a blessing to know those that do this kind of sharing and giving. For me it is a positive way of giving some of who I am in a way that could not happen any other way.   

I spent the better part of a day trying to find where on Pinterest this image came from to no avail. It was colored and shared with a friend. They liked it so much I gave it to them for their kindness over the years. 

For some reason the colors the camera picked up are different than the image. They are not homogenous, free flowing and blended. The image is signed just above the shoulder on the right. It is not legible. 

The Copic colors used are:

That is it for this week. May the good Lord bless and keep you sale. Remember to always"Love The Details."
