Peaceful easy feeling and giving THANKS our youngest is alive. As more details surface he began to realize he should not be here. Mention was made by him that he will not be riding his motorcycle for awhile. HE mentioned it. Even mentioned the I MIGHT SELL IT words.

We go to the doctor at 8 this morning to get re bandaged. We picked up a post op surgery shoe for him yesterday and a cane. Gosh those canes are expensive. I told him not to lose it as it would be Terry's size for later in life and it is a nice cane. We will know more once we see how things are healing. He felt better yesterday afternoon, so he probably will return home today or tomorrow.

My Neale Walsch email today talked about TRUTH. Truth spoken is a gift given. When truth is withheld a gift is denied. Part of an old adage says, "the truth hurts". If you think about it, the opposite is true. No truth is too hurtful. In the same breath, no lie is harmless. A truth will open your heart to another person. A lie will create a wall of separation.

They way you share a truth could be hurtful in how it is shared with both the given situation and tone of voice. So if you have something to share with someone that is truthful, speak your words in such a way that only peace and honestly come forth from you. It is funny how some folks lie so well and deliver those lies with a spoonful of honey making it easy for us to believe what they say. Didn't Tonto from the Lone Ranger say something about "You speak with a forked tongue."? Gosh I am old.

Watch what you say and do with those around you and if you must share some truth that could cause hurt, pray first that the Lord will give you the right words and a peace as you speak.

Grace,
Laurie

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
