As you can see this is not a blog buddy Friday post. I just want everyone to know that there are some changes happening in my life at the moment and I won’t be around for a while. I don’t know how long this hiatus will be. I’ll miss you guys and if possible I may come on from time to time and repost something from the archives or some art. Now you kiddos be good. No fighting. Here’s another piece of art before I go. (sorry for the horrible photo) Bye for now. 🙂 ❤

Stress is just terrible – I know from experience and from looking after other people who are experiencing it. It can build up toxins in the system and causes so many other illnesses. You have to find a way to deal with it – to calm yourself and take your mind off the things that are making you anxious. A really difficult thing to do because it’s almost impossible to concentrate on anything. Computers, games & puzzles are great. Take care of yourself, Cxx
