A lot of things have happened ... since the last time we spoke Some of them are funny ... some of 'em ain't no joke And I trust you will forgive me if I lay it on the line I'll always treat you like a friend of mine Sometimes I think about you ... I wonder how you're doing now Here in this fragmented world, I still believe In learning how to give love, and how to receive I wallowed in the springtime ... now I'm welcoming the fall And I don't mind saying that I still love it all For every moment of joy ... every hour of fear For every winding road that brought me here For every breath ... for every day of living ... This is my Thanksgiving For everyone who helped me start ... For everything that broke my heart For every breath, for every day of living ... This is my Thanksgiving —Don Henley

Yes .. these words are for you too. No need to elaborate .. work it out in whatever manner they make sense to you. Most recently, thank you for your attention and words regarding my light-hearted question about how to erase the memory and mileage of these past months.  I warmly appreciate your sentiments and suggestions. In the end, of course, we all learn that there is no "going back" .. nor may we long linger where we are.  The only golden option is the path forward.  & So we go!.. with arms wide .. and together. About the portrait above: I hope you enjoy it for it was actually quite a pleasure for me to create.  She's a re-discovery, you see.  I was looking back through a mix of earlier works when I came upon the original render which was created two years ago.  The painterly post work was done last night in Photoshop. This is Robyn's [ RobynsVeil ] Charlotte .. a character who won my affections on first sight .. as some of you may remember.  You can see from last night's creative investment .. that infatuation has lost none of its fire over the passage of time.  ;-) Charlotte is one of those rare digital characters which contain and radiate an actual spirit imbued through the inspired craft of their creator.  That Charlotte has always been offered to others without fee or restriction only adds lustre to her graceful sculptor.  For the pleasure and satisfaction of working with Charlotte I also offer my Thanksgiving, Robyn. To each and all of you, my warmest regards, Terry
