Today I visited with a cousin who recently found out that she only has a few weeks to live.  Her breast cancer has spread to her lungs and liver.  Her attitude is good.  She has her affairs in order and is prepared mentally.  She is an artist and insisted that I take a lot of her supplies because she knows she will never be able to use them.  She did keep a few things because she has a couple of projects she wants to complete.  As a true artist, she said that once she started creating art, (only a few years ago) she couldn't stop and won't until she no longer has the strength.  I hope I have her attitude when my time comes.  She had recently been accepted into her first juried show and had sold a painting.
