Beth, you haven’t had it easy in life. There was nothing fair about cancer, and there’s nothing just about MS.

Hang in there, stay strong, and savor whatever joy each day can offer.

The World That Takes a Shit

Fun with Photoshop

Sometimes working in Photoshop is as absorbing as playing an instrument, getting caught up in a daylong writing jag, or discovering an intriguing new Scotch. You are consumed by your activity, obvlivious to the time you are devoting and heedless of the energies you are expending. You work within a world of infinite possibility, charting out your own path in dark labyrinth unguided by anything but intuition. You finish, exhausted and somewhat sad that the journey is over, but much changed because of it.

Cherish these experiences, whatever they might be and whatever shape they might come in.
