In answe...Ah T, thank you for that lovely comment. In answer to your question, no, I have no answers...only ever more questions. :)<br />I think we have to listen deep to our hearts, to intuit as best we can what our hearts, bodies, souls require. I tend to burn all my paintings, and most of my words too...I don't think that matters, if they were created for ourselves, rather than others. Is that your case?<br />I have recently come back from doing something called the Penninghame Process (www.penninghame.org) and, I don't know, maybe that might help you clarify things a little. I found it the toughest, yet most rewarding, week I've ever done. Just throwing it out there... :) Let me know if you find any answers.

I spend an awful lots of time at home alone reading or creating/working on art projects no one will ever see. I feel quite satisfied in the moment but in moments of reflection i wonder, if I'm lonely, will I be lonely? will I regret these life choices? Is there actually anything more for me? You don't happen to have the answers do you? It would be appreciated.:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055675178831156132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-59129344395277148532015-09-17T13:09:30.523-11:002015-09-17T13:09:30.523-11:00Am one of the happiest Father on earth,My son once...Am one of the happiest Father on earth,My son onces suffered from the problem Schizophrenia which made him not to go to school,and that was killing his educational carrier.he can not control his emotions,always having nosies on his head affect how he thinks, feels and acts,he has taken different medication,but no cure,then i got the contact of a doctor who helped my son. he gave me the medication which my son used, he took the medication for two weeks,and that was the end of the problem.he can now control his emotions,no more severely distorted self-image and feeling worthless acts, his thinking is normal and no more voices on his head any more.any one that need his medication should contact the Doctor on benardleo13@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-22391540617306596672015-09-14T04:44:06.157-11:002015-09-14T04:44:06.157-11:00Oh I adore them.

The rosy after picture is also a gem, and make me wonder why through all my years I've never had an actual facial treatment by another's hands, and rarely even go to the self-applied mask myself.<br /><br />I've got some sort of mask stuff around here somewhere, and promise to give it a go.<br /><br />Truly Jane, it's your inner beauty that always shines through in these photographs.

However, do you absolutely have to move to a small ordinary house int he city. Could you find a pretty cottage on the outskirts of the city or an urban oasis near the city? Or just something much smaller in your beloved countryside? It seems that the dread of where you will end up living might be greater than the loss of this house.
