This is the completed first painting I have done since taking a painting class since retirement. Even now I see new things I would do differently. Guess that is like life. We learn as we go...or we learn as we grow? Have finished another painting and it has gone to the framer today. It's been quite an enjoyable six weeks of painting class. I started the last Friday of March.
I retired officially as of 3/14/2013 after almost 12 years in the field of chemical dependency counseling. I have four grown children, three daughters and a son. All but the son are married and two have children. I have a grown granddaughter and one of my daughter's has her fourth child about to be born.
We live on 8 acres in rural Lewis County with just my husband and I in our 40' fifth wheel. We also have a bunch of cats: guard cats!! And they do alert us to anything going on!
Just what this year will hold is yet in the mind of the Lord and not yet revealed to me but I trust that He has a whole new agenda for me in these "retirement" years. I know in His Kingdom there is no such thing. I know I am going through a "re tire ing" or "getting new tires time", being "refitted" so to speak for the equipment needed for the journey ahead and with great enthusiasm and praise to Him in whom I have believed and am persuaded that HE is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day!
