Where have I been in A New Journey

Where have I been.
I dunno where I have been other than being home mostly. I have picked up a fun hobby of painting just about every day. I have not been on my laptop only to open my painting group that I am enjoying everyday. As I said I have been painting I have joined 2 wonderful groups that teaches you how to paint and its been shocking to me of how my talents are now. I had no idea I was able to paint so well. I will admit I had no faith in me but there is a saying .... Take your/their negativity into positivity… is the ay to GO!!
Since this whole pandemic as started my world was so different than what I was used to. I used to go to work every day and enjoy seeing people faces smiling with I used to deliver flowers from the store where I used to work at. I also enjoyed working at the pharmacy also delivering their clients meds to them, the people were just happy to see some one visiting them just to say HI and that was me. I miss working and just seeing people. Going from working to staying home was a huge change in my life. SO I had to make a huge change.
BUT one thing came out good in all this I have found the LOVE OF my life for once. Yes I have had several men in my past but I was never able to find that right man or I thought I had in the past. The last relationship I had with a COWBOY in Texas was a good man to me but he just had a major drinking problem and I was not able to handle that. HE never hurt me or anything but he mocked my boys and I could not allow that to continue back then, that was 5 years ago. SO now my boys are doing great in Texas working hard in Georgetown (suburb of Austin). They both have good jobs. MY youngest is working for UPS and is on the right track in his life finally.
SO as I mentioned that I have found the LOVE of my life, Popeye as I will all him, asked me to move in as I was living in Casper helping my daughter with my grandkids. So with all the changes my daughter told me to go on with my life and do what best for me. As I had always took care of everyone else and not taking care of me. Well that was a major change for me as I had to just DO THAT!
Take care of ME!!
BUT then I had to have a few surgeries and now I am on the road to a good recovery. SO that is why I found the amazing painting groups. I would love to share them to you.

ONE is called the Christie Inner Tribe-Online paint studio. She is on https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChristiesInnerTribe/media/photos
but it is a private group. But if you check
ttps://the-social-easel-online-paint-studio.mykajabi.com/library
She does do once a month free tutoring sessions.
I have painted so many canvases and I am making many as Christmas gifts and It is so relaxing for me!!

The other group I am enjoying is a young gal from Canada, actually she is north of Michigan, Southwestern of Ontario, Canada. Her group is called Jesse Robertson, Keep it colorful paint nights.

You can find her in Facebook too. She has been so much fun. That is pretty much how my days are now. Painting, reading, keeping up with Popeye house and traveling to Denver for Dr appointments and here in Wyoming too.
Last month had Dental implants done as I needed to make changes for myself. I neglected taking care of me! SO I am on the road to making lots of new changes and I hope I see a NEW ME by next year. HAHA wishful thinking. NO I just mean that I am finally making good choices of doing much better things for me. I had been on Opiates for too many years and I was not addicted to them, they were just beginning to be like candy in a way. SO my immune got too used to them so I had also had a Spinal Cord Stimulator put in my back as I have DDD/ Degenerative Disk Disease, from a horse injury I had 7 years ago. So I am officially going off of all OPIATES and I am excited. Seeing my body looking better for once.
Well I hope every one is doing well too. I read all of you often and I note when I feel like it. I Do get on here often, Just need to write an entry more often.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! Even if you don’t have family getting together.

OH I had forgotten, I might be going up to ALASKA with my son Chef and his girlfriend. We had tickets since before the pandemic, but we are 3 weeks away from either if we are GOING OR NOT! I am nervous to travel.!!
