Winter Storm Nemo

New Rochelle NY.
Here are a few pictures of home in Westchester
from the winter storm.  It was so much fun
being the first to step into the fresh undisturbed snow.

Random Thoughts...


I found this on another blog called "Gypsy Me". I read it, then I read it again.  I have done everything suggested in this quote one way or another.
It's very cold here today in Westchster, just got hit by the snowstorm Nemo and I'm snuggled in bed with my hot lemon tea. after I finish that I'll have some champagne I'm chilling in my bathroom windowsill.  I took many pictures already but the sun and blue sky just popped out so I'm annoyed  because I already stripped my three layers of clothing off and feeling unmotivated now. So I will stay here instead of getting the perfect photograph. It's called laziness a word I have become very well acquainted with lately. I hear it in my head all the time. just like my Turning 30 blog...
I feel so inspired and uninspired at the same time.  I am constantly telling myself do something extraordinary today with this very very short life you have.  I'm very hard on myself, but i guess not hard enough because
i would have my body of paintings finished by now.
ahhh another day gone. 
Sometimes I'll go into my studio for five minutes and just
stare at a painting Ive started and leave. Then I think about it for 3 or 4 days before i actually
do anything to it. 
I have such an incredible man in my life that inspires me to be the
best version of myself.  He is my cheerleader. I always say to him he has a Romantic Readiness that doesn't exist anymore, except in the Jane Austin or Charles Dickens novel.  This quote describes Tony to his fullness.
"I'll tell you...what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter."
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
