Since reading all the wonderfully kind comments on Scarlet's sketch of me, I have been in a very introspective mode. I found that you many of you thought it captured my spirit and that interested me. I'm just me. I don't really think of 'me' as having any sort of spirit.
The sketch was drawn from the picture above. It was taken in the summer of 2006. I was in love -- or at least I thought I was. I was happy. So was he. He called me the love of his life.
Obviously, I wasn't. We parted after about a year and a half when I went through a really bad thing when my neighbors almost put me crazy. We started talking again about a year ago and eventually got together again but it wasn't right. The magic was gone and meanness prevailed (not on my part). I know it's better this way but I look at that picture and can't help but recall the good times. Thanks for bearing with me and for your very kind words.
Happy Blogging
are prettier than the portrait! It's good of you but it makes you look a harder person. The photo is lovely, because you were happy. And I'm sure you will be again.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely picture. And the drawing is an amazing likeness. How sweet.

It's a beautiful photo, Kay.
ReplyDeleteI think the sketch is very good, but love the photo more.
ReplyDeleteYes, happiness is sometimes fleeting. I hope you find another love and it is a lasting one this time.
It's a lovely photo, Kay, and I am glad you showed it to us.
ReplyDeleteYes, the drawing is VERY well done, and the photo flatters you too.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is lovely! Love does make us glow!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the magic's being gone. I went down that road, too, but we have somehow mended our wounds and I think can be considered friends.
Scarlet is blessed with bountiful talent and captured your joy.
ReplyDeleteKay, I hope 2009 brings more smiles like that to your face, my friend. It looks so good on you! That's the spirit we're talking about. It's in there!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful photo, but even without it we can feel your spirit through your words.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful picture and does show that spirit of being in love, of joy, of new beginnings. Lovely. At least you have those memories and that's not nothing
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful, Kay! The photo shows it more than the portrait although Scarlet did a very good job. JOY to you in 2009!
ReplyDeleteIn case you're wondering who is this newwine person -- I'm the one in the feather boa on Elder Exercise!
Thanks for all your great posts, especially on Eartha -- I forwarded that video on.
I agree with everybody. You are prettier than the picture, Kay! You have a very beautiful spirit, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust getting around to visiting you and I must say I am glad I stopped by so I got to see a very beautiful and happy woman.
ReplyDeleteHope 2009 brings you much happiness and gets you to smile like that again.
