When Life Knocks Me Down I Make Lemonade

  As spring arrives I stop and take stock of my position. I'm still standing. I'm still moving, forward I think. I made it through winter. It was a rough winter. My wife totaled her SUV. I sat with her in the hospital for four days before she was discharged. I then brought her home and tended to her until she was feeling good enough to go back to work ( about seven weeks I think). All the while our furnace was broken. I kept us warm with the strategic positioning of space heaters. My car broke down in three major occasions, leaving us with no means of transportation. ( I did learn how to repair my car myself. I went from knowing practically nothing to changing my radiator out in under two hours. ) I had a thriving airbrush business going, selling t-shirts and hoodies about as fast as I could paint them. Then both my airbrushes quit working. I'm sure it was my fault. I'm pretty rough on painting supplies. I didn't have enough money to buy new canvases. I've dug up every surface I could find to put paint on, just to help keep myself sane. It's been rough. It's almost over. It's almost spring. The time of renewal. Oh, I also let my blogging lapse. I hope this entry was worth the wait.
