Feeling Ecstatic
Hearing Chicago, "Fancy Colors"      This morning I woke up thinking today was going to be a really terrible day.  The husband was cranky because he was facing a work day that he knew in advance was going to be extremely stressful.  The girlchild had her MRI this afternoon.  Between those two, every co-dependent (I hate that freakin' word) tendency I have was on overdrive.
     I get up early to have a little computer time before family and work demands all my time, and there I was, sipping my cappucino, opening journals as each alert came up in my mailbox.  Suddenly, I was scaring the dogs.  I jumped up and literally screamed, "Oh my God/dess! I won the Heartsong!"
All day long I was telling anyone who knew that I was a blogger about the Painting of Light.   Beyond that, my heart, which had been heavy, was once again light.
     I read and re-read the other winners of this month's triad of winners, Rebecca's incredible poem (http://journals.aol.com/justaname4me2/InTheShadowOfTheIris/entries/1389), and Leane's childhood memory (http://journals.aol.com/louie0768/Befuddled/entries/55), and I felt so honored to be chosen.
     Judith HeartSong is an amazing woman and an incredible artist.  I can hardly believe that one of her paintings will grace my home, and I feel truly lucky that through journalling she has come to grace my life.
