Somedays your Heart Picks your friends

there are days as we walk this path we call life...that meet people some wonderful some so-so ...and some of those I chose for friends...

But then there are those that without me realizing My HEART picks them for a friend ...One of them is Sandra P. I met at Caring House last year..she is so special and full of love for the Lord and her fellow humans...

What ?? is the difference you Ponder....???

A friend you pick is one you think of now and then ..wonder how they are doing...and wish a blessing on them.

But HEART picked friends are special because your heart thinks of them everyday with out you even realizing it ...they are there in your mind's eye and you just pray with all your might they are having a good day.

Every one has friends like this ..yesterday I worked a local farmers market ...and met many wonderful people in that 6 hours...One couple I met I believe her name was Patsy and I know her hubby was Chuck have a heart friend going through breast cancer right now...and before I knew what was happening my heart was telling them about caring house and the bead tray and how it really helps cancer patients and caregivers to work with beads while they are undergoing their treatment. Patsy and Chuck said that was exactly what their friend needed and they would get the supplies together to send her...well my heart said not good enough and I got some bags of mixed beads and memory wire plus one of my ATCs(it said inspire) together in a bag and gave it to them to mail to their friend...our hearts linked ..I may not see them again although I hope I do ...I want to know how their friend is doing she has a long hard row ahead of her...

Then when I got home a box arrived with pieces of the most glorious fabrics from a heart friend ..named Sharon ...aka Laff...the special thing about our heartship is we have never met in person...we have talked on the phone once in a while ...but we talk almost every morning for the last almost 7 years in a online game room...we support each other when times are rough and we have had a few too many of those...we miss each other terribly when we don't connect in the morning ...Amazing how your heart can do that ...(but not really because GOD lives there)

I have met a couple of more people I know to be Heart friends ...again without meeting them in person....

Gayle in Florida and Christina in Ohio ...both fiber artists we get to talk about the wonders of our art and our lives...and support each other.We are not as close as Laff and I are but give us time....

Gayle's hubby is fighting cancer too right now ...he will beat it he has her in his world and she strikes me as a very strong person ..it is us strong women that can bring our hubbys and our children and families through tough times ..although there are times we find it hard for us to believe.

She is also an amazing artist ...

Christina lives on a farm with her hubby and kids in Ohio ...they need rain for their crops right now and I can imagine that is difficult to have your family depending on something so uncontrollable ...

I have to tell you one thing I kinda find funny my friend Laff used to live in Ohio and now lives in Florida ...so now I have another friend in Florida and one in Ohio.

anyway back to Heart friends what do all these people have in common

STRENGTH...they are some of the strongest friends I know ...I have many, many others but these are the ones who my heart screamed loudest about today....

Have a day full of sunshine and blessings and a little rain

But remember Let your HEART pick friends too....You will be so happy you did....

hhhhmmmmmm what to say what to do...???

you know sometimes you just need to sit down and think ...

today was one of those days yesterday I spent the day flying getting alot of my trades done for my Artist Trading Card group and Subsurface design

I love making little things of art...you can do so much in a short period of time ....and its amazing how cool they turn out.

so today was a day I had to run errands ...mail out my "pretties" I love the reaction of the people at the postoffice....

I have to get some of my Victorian Fiber Art pictures done for the local gallery they sold 3 pieces so far....there is nothing like it anywhere is my own technique... The require alot of work but worth it as they are so pretty...and unique

Very cool .....

I love making all of my treasures and pretties....

now just have to get them making me a living ....

remember you are only sinking if you think you are ..if you believe you can fly you will ...I prefer to Fly

Some days we walk some days we fly

you know there are days that we walk,,,those are the days that we spend running errands, cleaning house, doing laundry the everyday things of life that we must do .

But I love the days I get to fly....those are the days when I leave a note on the washing machine saying"gone being creative... see ya" ...

Lately life keeps getting in the way ... and even tho being creative is also my job it is hard to justify the time.

Last week I was so sick with a upper respiratory nasty ... that I slept all week ...well what a waste...but once it was gone I did feel better..sometimes your body says enough is enough.

anyway today was a flying day ....I belong to a couple of wonderful groups where I get to trade bits of art ...that I make for ones they make ...and what beautful stuff we make. But I had not allowed myself the time to fly lately...so today I did... and it was magnificient..a made a summery beach day journal page for friend over in the Netherlands what is so great about this my GGGGGGGGGGrandma was from there...she and GGGGGGGGGGrandad came here in 1732 to Pennsylvania ...

Now a piece of my artwork is going over there.

I hope she likes it I know I sure do ...next week after I get all the stuff done for my show and its over. I am making me one of these pages....

Well have a great day and remember to FLY ....Haved a Blessed Day.

The journal page has a front and back with a pocket in the center to hold a CD of piano and ocean sound music. I also plan on putting in some postcards from the Outer Banks. It felt so good to get this page done ...and ready to mail...

But more than that I had a day to fly....and I will fly tomorrow too ...because I have a show next weekend a wonderful friend just wanted me to be in. So she made sure I got in. She has silver wings made of soap...because that is what she makes....

But because of that I get to fly all week getting ready for the show...making earrings, keychains, ATCS, Postcards, pictures and more.

I always wonder what color wings I have ...when I fly not sure ...but they are so quiet...no one would ever know.

The reason I wrote this today is because so many people refuse to let themselves have a day to fly. But we must always remember to...make that time....writing this blog is flying for me to share my thoughts and my heart with you ....

So remember spread your wings and do what you WANT to!!!
