“There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about lifes sores the better.”

OSCAR WILDE

Hello Everyone,

It has been a wild summer and I am happy to be home. There is a sense of comfort that comes with the everyday chores, work and home life. The salon has survived without me (imagine that) , my girls are both in healthy relationships, the bills are paid, my mother is in a nice nursing home and all is well. Everything is going so well……that I have discovered, at last, the beauty of life.

Discovering a new cove

I agree with Oscar Wilde that we spend way too much time talking about our life’s pain. Some people might disagree with me and say that we need to talk about our problems with others, to somewhat diffuse the pain. I then, will not tell you the dark family secrets; I wont tell you how hard it is to put a family member away in a nursing home; OR how I mistakenly thought that I had finally found love this summer. NO, I WONT TELL YOU THOSE STORIES…..

The joy of watching my son jump off a pier, and into a sea full of jelly fish.

I will share with you the beauty, the colour, the joy of life that i have discovered this summer. I have taken photos of most of them, some things…… I will leave for you to imagine alone.
