“The purpose of Art is to hold a mirror up to Life. Life obviously needs more sleep.” 😁
And in another week or two your spring flowers will be open, and Sneezy will be by. So don’t be Bashful about talking to the Doc to see if they can make you Happy! 😊
The Muses jiggering your ear and sleeve wasn’t helpful. But external and internal context can play a role. An instructor once illustrated that: a person waiting to cross a busy street felt a bump against his leg. Remembering the “wino” he had just seen, he turned thinking the bump came from that person bumping into him. Feeling his indignation rise, he turned to verify his expectation. He had been bumped with the walking cane of a visually impaired person. Indignation quickly gave way to embarrassment, then compassion.
Without intending any comparison with the clever crosswalk character, your own analysis of events was spot on. And remembering all the support and understanding your peeps freely offer is one way to transcend a negative state of mind.
That your friend waited 15 minutes past the set time makes no one Dopey! To me it illustrates how dependable you are under normal circumstance. I’d wager a nickel they weren’t standing there, tapping their foot, and muttering, “Dopey Gail, Loser.” Telling oneself, “I’m doing the best I can,” isn’t always easy for me. Under any circumstances.
“And remembering all the support and understanding your peeps freely offer is one way to transcend a negative state of mind.” True that! Much appreciation. ♥️
My friend was incredibly gracious about my slip. I’m blessed with amazing people in my life!
As I am you! I just posted a second time to today's "Sparkly, Fiesty, Frisky", the thrust of which was an expression of my gratitude for this community. I used a Twitter relationship I've formed with a person in Ukraine, noting some of her similarities with Gail, also noting that being in the 3mm community has opened heart and mind to positive living. Thank you, Bobby.
Dopey visits me far more often than I care to admit… However, because of your role modeling with authenticity, armed with the quote from Anne Rice, Thank You, and the wisdom of “one of us,” I am prepared to shake Dopey’s hand. Heck, I might even see if I can “wrangle” a high five 🖐🏼 out of him! 😉

Nicely done… working the 4 remaining dwarfs in!!! ♥️💚💜
I knew I had to work quickly, before Gary Spangler jumped in... 😉
Good thinking! 👍🏼😎🖐🏼
JackH one of the added blessings of these posts is I realize I also love reading your posts and the smile they bring to my day.
LOL!
Jack! Brilliant! Well done! I commend and applaud your creative reply. And so concise. Bravo! 🙌🏼
The 8th dwarf, Cheery 😉
Of course it could be Cheerful instead… 🤔

You’re doing great!
CURE!

Gary-
I’m so grateful for you and your replies! 🙏🏼

And her heart grew three times in size...
You are allowed Gail, all of it. 💚🌺 xx

Have you ever been to Disney? I have not, but if I ever go… I’m going to get a photo with Dopey! 😃
I have. Long ago… 😊
Grumpy paid me a visit too. Thank you for sharing the Anne Rice quote. It was exactly what I needed to hear.
Agree Billie. I added to the list in my art journal titled: “Everything I need to know in life I learned from Gail”
Happy to share everything I steal… and more! 😉
Always share, Gail. That's why we're here!
Ooooh! I have a behemoth lesson I learned today. I’ve tossed it to the muses… They might toss it back. 😂
Gail, I love how you transition from typist to painter in this post. Look forward to seeing the beauty you create.
👩🎨Tomorrow the paints come back out of their carry case.
Be gentle on yourself Gail. All is forgiven.
