fireflies in june

"fireflies in june" ~painted by nicole

my daughter, meghan picked the name for this painting, that is because she "called it".  as you'll see from my previous post i selected a painting that represented that i finally slept last night.  the painting is much like my style, so, i had an epiphany and spent today painting.  some paintings make me happier than others.  some paintings are better than others.  not sure why.  it just is.  i'm planning on spending the day with family tomorrow.  this is something that is just now happening again after a long 2 1/2 year hiatus ( that's a long story).  but i have my dad to thank for making us all get together again.  funny, how his death did that.  but, like my painting, i'm not going to question it.  after spending some time with family, i'll head on over to my best friend's house.  i really don't know how i would have gotten through the past 2 years post gastric bypass without her.  she had RNY also.  our philosophies are a bit different when it comes to food.  she is trying all my new crazy healthy recipes (and liking them i might add) and when i eat at her house, i eat her food.  sometimes i dump over there.  she doesn't dump often.  who knows why one of us is more sensitive than the other.  it is what it is.  just like my paintings.  i'm not going to question it too much.  it's about surrounding yourself with supportive people, accepting others no matter where they come from.  you don't have to agree with EVERYTHING.  but, heaven's to betsy play nice.  we are all in this together, aren't we?  i might have a different opinion than you.  i might not even LIKE you.  i certainly won't spend time with you if THAT is the case.  but just like my paintings, i like some better than others.  what YOU might like, i might dislike.  <<< that's about my paintings..... or is it?    xxoo~nicole
