This blog is dedicated to the memory of my life partner of nearly thirty years, Dr. Howard G. Hanson-- artist, writer, musician, and teacher-- who with me celebrated a belief that we can achieve whatever we allow ourselves to imagine. This blog reflects the whole person that our lives together enabled.

Paws Update

By mid-summer, I should be able to paint again, and I can't wait!

Dr. Raab repaired my right hand on April 21.  The surgery was totally successful and recovery is coming along beautifully.  I confess that the left hand has suffered a bit of trauma, having to take full duty for both before it was quite strong enough, but it too is regaining momentum.  The most difficult part of this five-month ordeal is holding onto patience.  Experiences like this can teach us a lot about ourselves.

Fortunately, I have been able to continue with my Compose blog, missing only one weekend post.  But I look forward to once again putting brush to canvas and continuing this artistic journey.  Meanwhile, Spring abounds.

Stay tuned.
