Description
Hi everyone!! I have been not around for so long not even commenting on images. I have so many friends here as well as my fellow Dazney Landers that I thought I would explain.
I have thought long and hard if I would share whats been my troubles lately but have had my health problems out in the open before so here it goes....
The last 3 years I have major back problems that I have been taking extreme pain killers just to deal with everyday aches and pains. Last month I lost my health insurance and also thought it was about time to throw away the prescriptions. Needless to say I knew I was addicted but had no idea of just what it would be like going through the emotions of taking them away. Talk personal hell!! Even though it has been around 3 weeks the major hardship is gone. Thankgod!! I have found myself going through heavy depression to the point where I have no energy to sit at the computer as well as the broken computer chair hasn't helped any. (Which I was able to get a real nice computer chair by credit coming on 7/13). Cant wait.
For those of you who are real personal friends also know that I have a son who is 14 yrs old and has ADHD. Without the insurance you guessed no meds for him. The stress that my son is going through just breaks my heart and causes incredible insanity here in the house. The stress levels are off the charts.
I have had to delete alot of ebots and starting all over fresh and new and to try my best just to push myself to keep doing what I love to do. I also have finally straightened out my internet connection as well.
I feel like I have been just gushing out my emotions to the point I may not be making myself clear but hopefully you get the point of why I haven't been around. I am very sad that I have missed so much beautiful artwork but looking forward to your new ones. Hope you all have a good weekend!! big hugs

Dlg-> Great image, your dragon look's really cool. Like that armor he's wearing.. And I do so wish you the best with your fight.. Depression is no fun, and I think there are probably far too many people on this site that could relate to much of what you're dealing with!! Wishing you all the best for you and yours..

Fantastic and very creative scene....!!! The composition have a great balance....!!!! Beautiful and very expressive contrapose characters.....!!! I coincide totally with the flaviok opinions, be a proverb that he says that there is not pain that it lasts a hundred years, you have the whole support of all those that here are....!!! #:O)

I'm happy to see you here. I wish there was something I could do to help. All I can say I guess is keep up the fight Shannon. I'm not a stranger to fighting addictions, been there. Dont give up! Life hurts, but I have faith in you.

Times like this can be pressures. Something is going wrong in you life and now is the time to face it and fix it. I do know it's not easy(I really do!) but hang in there. Nothing last forever! Your art is a great expression and the dragon will protect you!!

You came back with a vengeance Shannon- this is an awesome image! Lots of gold and black tones intertwined with some cool atmosphere, effects, georgeous characters and scenery! You have likely traversed the hardest part, the first couple of weeks where the body/mind craves the stimulii to the point of making you sick. Now comes the lucidity of seeing yourself in a new light- less hazy. You may find more inner power now than you ever imagined! Things will get better, as long as you believe in yourself and know it is true.
