C ( again) is for Change.
A very old self portrait. When what I imagined might happen was still what I thought might happen.
I keep reevaluating what I constantly hear.
You cannot change what has happened. You cannot go back.
Today a floating self.
She knows she can change her mind.
That is all she needs to know.
And since I am back to C today, I may as well say C is for Cat.
I just like this picture.
And C can be for Community... Debra has joined the Ragmates Page.
C has always been a challenge of courage. And of changes.
and C is for coffee which will help me wake up and deal with it today, ha!
Might be Anais Nin
Everything was different. And nothing changed but my mind.
Might be that we will just realize it after a while.
It is quite spooky to think about for too long. What is all this we feel is real?
Thank you for the shout out Jude! xoxox
Hey!
Stared at your painting for a long while, Considering. This is the longest I’ve been without cat in my life. That’s something that needs to Change.
I stared at it too
I’m gonna get more cats when I move.
You never know how taking a different path or fork in the road will change your life. Choices and chances for change. Sometimes it’s your decision, sometimes not.
Yes to C is for Cats; as I look back over my life I remember my best friends were (and are) cats.
Yup, you just keep going.
I have always had a cat or two or 3 or 4!
C is for the crooked road that leads you to where you have to be.
P.S. everyone needs more cats.
The road is like a thread. I drew that once, I wonder where it is.
Ha!
Love the shadows on your self-portrait. ⭐️
🥂Cheers to C
Yeah, I don’t remember painting like that, but there it is!
I so love the looking back and looking forward as a diagram of change…it is such a good thing, truly a good practice. Your self portrait is a great looking back looking forward opportunity – I love it!
I just love looking in general!
C- for CONNECT for me for this year.
i also saw this:
The three C’s of life:
Choices
Chances
Changes
You Must make a choice to take a chance or life will not change.
and Courage
xx
Courage is big!
This is so good!
Thank you ❤️
Yes! Well said.
“C” is for Continuing 🙂 Community is one of the most important words, I think. Nice to see Debra here with the other ragmates.
I looked at everyone’s photos and words again today, which is so nice to see now and then. I was especially nice to see this photo of Michelle and her “Hi I am Michelle and I am still here”. Yes, you you are Michelle. ❤️
Yes she is!
Thank you Nancy, I feel like I’m among Super Stars! What a wonderful place to be. And thank you again Jude for the invite.
🙃
Great self portrait, Jude! You are going well. It is not easy after so long a relationship, but you are going and that is the best thing you can do.
Certainly better than not going!
Love the self portrait!
I am looking and thinking…who was that?
I need to learn that! Change at how you look at change.
Soul-o looks like he’s thinking 💭 I just need a nap ok!
Love the floating self 💚
We are change, ha!
It’s kind of like, “look both ways before you cross the street.” We need past and future for change. 🙂 I like that picture of Soul-o too. It is so very cat-like.
Ha, yes. My head spins as I try to look in all directions.
I like how his eyes fit in to the patterning on the cloth.
Change your mind and change your life.
Seems simple but I often forget.
Go back, every now and then. Perspective changes everything! Like rereading a book, the book hasn’t changed…but the Reader has, and so the Book changes! New eyes, new Vision.
Hello, Soul-o, you beautiful Cat!
Maybe community can be built on the acceptance of many eyes.
Oh, I like that idea!
