It doesn't surprise me that the words in the post are well understood and encourage "You" Suz... for "You" too... have not only "Crossed over"... but back n' forth/.... many times on your own journey. We share parallel journeys and belief systems Suz... and with that... great Faith and Hope... for the distinct possibility for and knowledge of... another plane of existence. <br /><br />About Howie; "he" is simply one in a long line of expressive and masterful portraits that you have exhibited here on Blogger... each one a rich and delectable "Berry"...

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment upon this post!<br /><br />Yes... do seize the day... and be grateful that you can! Each hour... of each day is a pure and simple blessing. Do what you can with each of them!<br /><br />Allison is well back into her duties at the university and is preparing to head off to Michigan State University soon to deliver "a talk". She is a remarkable young woman...so creative and committed to life and education. "We"... as a family... will indeed travel ... hand-in-hand to face life and life... hoping to both enjoy... and to create..."sunshine"!<br /><br />Shine on... in your own beautiful corner of the world Caroline.<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-67644904901425311572016-01-18T08:46:05.513-05:002016-01-18T08:46:05.513-05:00Greetings from Scotland Bruce! what a fine post th...Greetings from Scotland Bruce! what a fine post this is, so much to listen to from all those inspired words of yours.

Thanks for your encouraging...Good morning Keith!... Thanks for your encouraging comments and visit!<br /><br />I believe that Allison and I have truly made the next year our common turning points. This painting is indeed a turning point because it represents a subject that I have had "on the back burner" for far too long.<br /><br />Procrastination is a terrible enemy for many of us... just as taking things ... like our gifts of health can be. We both head out into 2016... under full sail... but with firmer objectives... especially with the way we use our "Time".<br /><br />Stay tuned... and thanks for your words and thoughts Keith!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-84435999189836442502016-01-17T04:17:33.424-05:002016-01-17T04:17:33.424-05:00Good morning Bruce.

I like the idea of the painting as a "turning point", with the possibility of better things to come. <br /><br />I'm glad that Allison has reached her own "turning point" and is finished with the intensive treatment. I hope she continues to do well.<br /><br />All the best,<br />KeithKeith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-69678105789979721452016-01-16T18:09:56.613-05:002016-01-16T18:09:56.613-05:00Good evening Debbie!...Thank you for visiting and ...Good evening Debbie!...Thank you for visiting and for sharing your thoughts and personal life experience. Cancer is such a dreadful disease... and gives no quarter... to any person or age group. I have witnessed that multiple times during Allie's treatment program.<br /><br />I wish your Dad complete healing and return to his earlier state of health. Our prayers are with all of you.<br /><br />Wishing your much Peace and Joy in 2016.<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-54849636239056399572016-01-16T15:05:24.846-05:002016-01-16T15:05:24.846-05:00Dear Bruce - just catching up with you friend. I...Dear Bruce - just catching up with you friend. I am so glad to read that your daughter is through her treatments. Cancer does certainly give us a perspective on life. My father was just diagnosed with esophagus cancer and so I know what you went through - your painting "Crossing Over" is simply gorgeous as well as this thoughtful post. Take care and may 2016 bring you peace and joy. Hugs!Debbie Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168646638438558551noreply@blogger.com
