self worth

Feb 14 2020 I wrote about retirement and the change in life and the feeling of identity loss. In 2021 the identity loss is affected by a new catalyst, Covid 19! It has changed me in a way I wouldn't have expected. It has isolated me from who I am. I had to cancel my art show last May, pulled away by the pandemic from friends and social events. I have always thought of myself as fully functional without the need to have a great deal of human contact but the events of the past few years tell me otherwise. Maybe I do need the occasional head rub or slap on the back. What's also missing is the giveback. Slap someone on the back and give them a head noogy. 

A slap on the back and a head noogy from me to you

Take care of yourselves and know you are worth it. Don't let the events dictate who you are. ​A slap on the back and a head noogy from me to you.

So back at it. In the next few months I will be shamelessly promoting my art show in April, "There is Still Life"...2022AC (after covid). The next blog will deal with the details and timing.

The painting below "Crossing Over" is dedicated to my mother who crossed over in March and to all that have similar losses.
