I'm so glad you have thrown out the old part of your life and concentrating on the now which is the most important. Who cares what someone else thinks about you ! Your paintings show the inner strength & character you have. I love going on walks with you and Winslow.

Then one day I read a quote, "it's none of your business what someone else thinks of you". For some reason (common sense maybe) it all of a sudden became clear to me that it really doesn't matter. I had to think highly of myself and that is what mattered. Funny how we waste time on things we have no control over.

How many times have I felt that way. It really is amazing how hard we can be on ourselves. If only we could learn to relax and take ourselves the way we are.

And full of knowing that you can (must) clean out these thoughts/views, etc.<br /><br />How many sad things can be done to young people, which can last a life time. If we don't wake up, and notice, and realize... That we are not that person. <br /><br />That we are our selves. With all our talents and issues. A delightful bundle of "self-ness." To be embraced, and loved, and nurtured and... <br /><br />Lovely...<br /><br />Tessa~Tessa~ Here there be musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661988938395877761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-16910685760438034792014-01-27T11:07:36.139-05:002014-01-27T11:07:36.139-05:00Very wise post....

Also can be quite shocking when your realize where those beliefs come from. Love your photos too, and so glad to have met you.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282631333469688624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-68642021616100569252014-01-27T10:20:58.897-05:002014-01-27T10:20:58.897-05:00A very touching post, Silke!

When I first discovered art I was convinced that I would paint landscapes, or rather really wanted to paint them. I took a local class with an instructor who was not very kind, brutally honest even and nit picked at my work which was landscape. Since then I have avoided painting them for fear it will never be any good. And I have to wonder why one persons words have affected me so much? I am full of clutter around me as well and wonder why I keep all this stuff! But as you say, the clutter in our minds can be so much more damaging. I am happy to hear you are balking at the voices in your head and are on to bigger and better things! xoxoCathy Buetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176782992604138092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-66232426259845951502014-01-27T09:42:45.435-05:002014-01-27T09:42:45.435-05:00Glad you're finally giving the finger to some ...Glad you're finally giving the finger to some of those stupid old opinions conveyed by others!

Wipe the slate clean and carry on. (I too was very sensitive and still am at times.)<br />Would you be interested in donating your books to a seniors' home instead of the thrift store? I'm sure they would be appreciated.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-90890378549673767002014-01-27T09:28:56.471-05:002014-01-27T09:28:56.471-05:00Liebe Silke,
