"There is an island fantasy

A "Someday I'll,"

we'll never see when recession stops,

inflation ceases,

our mortgage is paid,

or our pay increases.

That Someday I'll,

where problems end,

where every piece of mail is from a friend,

where the children are sweet and already grown . . . .

Most unhappy people . . . put happiness on "lay away"

And struggle through a blue today . . . .

Life's most important revelation is

that the journey means more than the destination ."

No more gray days was painted while I lived in Oregon...

where gray days prevail, and my life was a huge bucket of stress, daily.

I wanted something to remind me that I make my own sunshine, inside and out...

no matter the days events. I needed to provide myself with a work

that re-energized my soul, gave hope on days that felt like I wouldn't make it through, brought peace to situations that felt impossible.

So, when I found this huge canvas at a local thrift store,

with a horrible painting on it, I bought it, brought it home

to the studio, and began just laying in the colors of hope, of joy,

of reward. When I finished, I stood back and realized,

this life is my own, my destiny is to be a painter, and I

am no coward, no shrinking violet.

I will not ever listen to those who are dream crushers,

those who want to see a person fail, those people who

criticize and make fun of a person's path, truths, and passions.

I am my own sunshine, and I light my own way

when the days feel dark, and impossible.

I am a maker of art, a creator, a human being of

strength and courage.

No more gray days, powerful, calm and wise,

it marks where I have been, where I will go,

and the faith in myself that is needed to succeed.

I hope you enjoy the work too.
