Ouch

Oh Boy! I'm in so much pain; it hurts to walk. Looks like I have plantar fasciitis. I did not get much sleep because of it. After writing, I am planning on closing my eyes for a couple of hours.

On a great note, it’s been good to wake up early these past couple of weeks. Life has felt different. A little walk, a little yoga and some meditation have definitely improved life. I’m feeling the transformation of a new me happening.

Yesterday, President Obama turned 50. WOW! Though I am 7 years away myself, I can’t imagine being in his shoes. The responsibility, the work, the lifestyle… the stress!!! I wonder if as a young boy he imagined his life being what it is today. Though there is so much criticism and shit that I may not understand, I can’t imagine how he deals with everyday life.

The piece here is titled, “Fist Pumping First Lady, He’s Seeing Stars.” I painted this soon after Obama won his presidency. It was the one piece that was sold at Gibson on Beverly Blvd. I felt so proud and happy when I received the check in the mail.

Okay, I have to rest now. I don’t know how people live with chronic pain. OUCH! I know, this too shall pass.

I found this quote that made me laugh: Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. ~Mark Twain


Have a most beautiful and fantastic weekend!
