I couldnt have put it better my self! He is so wise! I couldn't offer a better comment than that - The painting is exquisite and so is the subject. So beautifully painted and so you. I've also been a little overwhelmed recently, so I empathise!

It never ceases as the generations grow - just diversifies! The only way to stay ahead of the game, really is the 'little boxes'. Keep each problem separate, in it's own box. Life is seldom about one huge problem - it's usually about loads of little ones - when it gets too much for us it's because we've left all the boxes open. <br /><br />If the car breaks down it's nothing to do with a backlog of laundry or a school report or a painting that went wrong. All together they are a big problem ... individually they are not.<br /><br />Sounds silly advice, but bless you, you sound so sad, you don't realise yet what a good mother you are.<br /><br />Meanwhile ... back at the gypsies ... another brilliant painting, with trademark eyelashes and loose hair ... fantmogosically great!Gatepost productionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061920423331681586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-12742366694014564892012-06-26T10:43:14.342-07:002012-06-26T10:43:14.342-07:00I will share with you a little secret of mine -- w...I will share with you a little secret of mine -- whenever I am in one of those days of feeling overwhelmed, unaccomplished, to busy to breathe,... I have always asked myself: "what would crystal do in situations like this?" To me, you are a pillar of strength, wisdom, humor and good spirit, who seems always able to get it together no matter how crazy the situation is (imaging your daily schedule literally makes my head spin...). You never cease to amaze me with your optimism and work ethic, as well as the quality of work you continue to turn out despite your very busy schedule.

Being a mom can be overwhelming at times. There's always something to do and we never know if how we're raising our children is the best way for them to grow up to be the people we know they can be. I have a feeling you're doing a very good job. Enjoy your week and never get to busy to enjoy those precious moments with your children.
