Friendship

Last week was a week with friends

that started with a late, late night

watching Justin Trudeau's Liberals sweep the country.

Once the election results were in

we were able to do what we always do when we get together...

Support each other in our creative lives 

Talk art and artists and all that that entails

For the first time some of us baulked at talking about five year plans...

...and kept it down to one!

But now Margi and Judy and Val

have flown my coop.

But actually Val had to leave mid-week

because she became a grandmother for the first time.

So very thrilling!

Over the years we have been through more than art talk together.

I am so grateful to these women

Every time they come I feel renewed, re-energised, validated

and so much more.

Now I need to sit down and think

think of our talks and plans

then write to wrap my mind around things

to understand and fully absorb

for what they say and observe is important to me.

Everyone should have friends that are passionate about the same things.
