It’s a new year… It’s a new day… and I feel good…

2015
the year for me to invest more energy in art and craft…
the year to recognise myself as a reasonably good artist
the year to promote my skills
the year to drive my focus into art and craft as a means of earning…
…if not a living, then a slush fund
…or rather a wine and play day fund

2015
the year to remember and thank those friends who knew me when i didn’t know myself
Who supported me and held me up when i didn’t have strength
and who laughed and played with me when i did
and who are there…
…whenever
whose presence in the foreground and in the background colour my world and solidify my foundations

2015
the year to embrace and to let go
to wallow in great relationships
to pride myself in raising a great and happy young man
to learn to let go, but still hold on
be there for the falls but stand back and enjoy the spectacle
as he dances and soars, as his wings unfurl to reveal their true light and colour

2015
another great year to carry on and to embrace life
to stand up and protect the weak
to be brave and believe in the ‘right’
to use my voice…
…and speak openly and honestly
to continue to be me.
whilst you continue to be you.
To be true.
another great year to be, and to be is to be great
