Hi color splashes,

The absence of pain is a beautiful feeling. The epidural I had in my spine took away half the pain I have and made me reconsider my basal joint removal operations in my thumbs.

Instead, yesterday I had a long, excruciatingly painful shot of cortisone in each thumb, exactly where it hurt the most. I thought I was going to faint, but I stared into my husband's eyes, imagining all the pain he has felt in the last four years, and I stayed with him. It was wicked!

The doctor said it could take a week to become effective, and is only a temporary stopgap to put off the necessary surgery, but it's fine for me.

Sunday afternoon I have a reception for the Guilford Art League's five hundredth (not really) membership show. I gave them the seaweed Lighthouse to hang. A staid New England bunch if I've ever seen one!

 We were asked to bring "finger food" and a small piece of our work to exchange with another member. I don't have many small pictures, so today I began to create one. The one turned into three, so I have a start on Christmas gifts.

Live in the light,

Lisabeth
