A few months ago I was talking with a good friend
about how he is learning to make decisions.
It is hard, he said, but now he sees
that one has to sense if one has
peace about the decision
or the direction
to be taken.
I get a sense of peace and joy
from taking pictures.
And I have always loved flowers.
The Dutch do, you know, love flowers.
My heritage is fully Dutch
(And American, Canadian).
That said....
I must hereby acknowledge
that the idea of making cards
or trying to sell my pictures as art
is not what I need to do right now.
I felt only discord and overwhelment within myself.
BUT I am really grateful that it is now clear
that you all love my pictures.
I love them too.
I love taking them. I love sharing them.
And maybe someday there will be a time
for me to make cards.
For now, I am going to continue to blog,
continue taking pictures
and will seek to continue to love.
Again, my thanks to you all.
When you make a decision that makes you feel at peace, it is a very good thing. I'm glad you are there.

Thanks Mimi. Yes. It is not that I am fully closing this door, it is just not what I have to do first right now... :)
ReplyDeleteThe flower shop near me gets its deliveries every day straight from Holland. When I was little I used to see these trucks and think Holland must be just one huge flower bed!
ReplyDeleteMarga - That's really neat - thanks for telling me this story!
