Happy 2019, my dear friends!
After quite a few attempts, returning here on a regular basis has failed horribly! My new year wishes have been ready since early December, alas ‘dark forces'[!] have conspired to keep me from posting them! No more! I will -at least do that- before the first month of this year ends!
So, here it is…
May you all enjoy the beauty of your hearts and breathe in all good and nothing but good! 🙂

…and who knows, maybe 2019 allows me to be more present here!!!
Dear Marina I’m so delighted to be here to wish you a really really Happy New Year 2019. May your creativity continue to inspire all your well wishers me including 🙂
Regards
Dilip

Smiling as I write this comment, Marina. I do hope to see your beautiful artwork and posts again.
For a while I’ve been thinking of discontinuing my blog. Then, I get a reminder of the people I’ve met through this WWW and know I would miss seeing them or hearing what they have to say. Now, I post when I can and without pressure of meeting any challenge deadlines. It frees my time more and I don’t feel the pressure I felt before to be creative even when I didn’t have the desire.
May your year – 2019 – be filled with the wonder of a child, superb health, tremendous joy and, of course, immense LOVE ….
Hugs and Touching Hearts … Isadora 😎
