Good morning all. Feeling decidedly ropey this morning. Woke early with awful muscle pains in legs, arms and shoulders, hot, slightly nauseous and heart pounding. Checked fbs----12.3!Blood pressure OK but pulse 104. Took beta blocker and drank lots of water. Cooled down. Have just taken Gliclazide with a light breakfast and gone back to bed so will recheck later. Have a good Sunday everyone and stay safe & well.

Wow. Up there with the best posts I have read on here. Really pleased for you that you found "that place" even if for one day. I hope you will be surprised to be there on other occasions. Other people seem to imply it is best not to consciously seek them. The words make perfect sense of the artwork to me. Thanks so much.My painting for my daily painting challenge today.
I didn't want to do a pastel painting today...
I have been missing creating on the digital SketchClubApp...
This has taken me a few hours. I can disappear into another world with doing this...disappear into the imagination in my head where another dimension takes place...
My head has been working towards this all day...how do I explain...not easy in words - there is a smoothness that's leads into inner dimensions which are always there as a construct of alternate parallel dimensions which can bleed into other dimensions...I see this all the time, always have done, and I assume it began because I was a profoundly deaf child with no hearing or understanding of people or the world that the majority are part of...
When I had the cochlear implant, I was an experiment because this hospital had not done an older person who had been profoundly deaf from birth, and they were not sure if my neural pathways for speech had atrophied. Although there was talk of neural plasticity. So this was a gamble...
It is not like you are operated on and you flick a switch to turn you on and you can hear words and everything. That might be a possibility if you were hearing all your life before you became deaf.
So yes the operation worked in that sound now comes through, but even 12 years later I am still learning what sound is and what speech is...
It was quite some time later before I realised why I was having severe problems with my creativity, that is my writing, my poetry, my artwork.
All these years from birth, my creativity had hijacked those unused neural pathways that been assigned for the purpose of hearing. There was obviously no sound input during the act of creativity all these years.
So, just before I am 60 years old I get 'hearing' via the cochlear implant. It has been like since there has been a constant internal battle with those neural pathways. Because the hearing now wants those neural pathways back. I have been battling with this creative aspect of me, which felt completely destroyed initially with the cochlear implant, and I had no idea this was going to happen. It is impossible to describe my up and down journey in this the last few years on here.
Today has been a day where I can get back into fully what I was, when I had no hearing input. Yet I have been wearing my speech processor today, so I have had hearing input today. It is like I can enter it all. I might not have this tomorrow, but I am enjoying today while it is here...that disappearing into another world is important to me and brings me calm and peace...
Here is the painting done in the SketchClubApp
It might not look so clear on a small phone screen...

This and the misty morning sunrise moved me to tears.
can only 2nd @gennepher posts.
and i really like this one.
i do not have a real talent for art, but i do appreciate those who have and are so willing to share.
if i am honest, not everyone's is great...soz
Now i mean compared to mine.. they ARE fantastic.
but i am sure many post up a little unhappy that the painting isn't how they really wanted it to be.
But that doesn't matter..
i don't ever look and go i could of done better..cos i can't
and i don't ever look and go so n so could do better, cos they can't and didn't.
But YOU beautiful, one eared, eccentric, mad, crazy atriste.. YOU..
spent time creating and painted YOUR pic, YOUR view, how YOU see it
and posted it for ME..
now that ME.. is all of us, who view your work or posts.
and i AM so appreciative, of your time effort and willingness to share,
whether its pics, paintings, a glimpse into your day, or just a thought in your head.
Anything really that isn't MY normal view of the world..
for ME to appreciate , dissect & enjoy, at my leisure.
For me the simple pic my customer from work, painted for me takes pride of place in our hallway
BECAUSE it's personal..sweat, thought and effort for ..all for me..blessed by that.
and for all the pics i see on here.
i like to imagine IF you painted that for me...
would i hang it in the hallway alongside my friends pic..in a heartbeat for many.
and for those that i maybe wouldn't..thats ok too.
Because your next pic is the one i would..
because you kept at it until you were happy, or just maybe you weren't
but that doesn't matter, because your imperfect was MY perfect.
i doubt any artist is EVER satisfied that the last painting was their best work, ever
So as a grateful recipient of the love and sharing we all do, in whatever form
word, art or just a moment to reflect on your day, and that life while after all, fleeting
is still full of wonder and things we didn't know
or
skills WE don't possess that others magically CAN perform.
and for those who bravely, selflessly, are willing to put themselves on the line,
and share their views and art in all its
'imperfect,' 'not quite what i wanted' 'not really happy with it, but here it is', form
Thank you all
from a most grateful viewer.
Hope your test strips arrive soon.5.2 (26/4/16) No strips - Tee 2 dispatched 15/4/2020
