    About Me

    I've been married for 40 yrs. and have 3 grown daughters and 5 grandchildren. I love calligraphy and graphic arts and produce greeting cards and do freelance calligraphy. I also love to travel in the US and overseas - Paris is my favorite place though Amsterdam is a close second. I'm so lucky to have been able to do the artwork I love and the travel that inspires me. Always try to turn the lemons into lemonade. The cup is always half full. Without optimism I would be lost.

      From DonalKerr October 14

      A special Hug; We are all cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. (Ray Bradbury) We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lost sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way. (Gloria Gaither). The only causes of regret are laziness, outbursts of temper, hurting others, prejudice, jealousy, and envy. (Germaine Greer) Dónal: PS: Feeling pretty rough just now – so here is hoping for tomorrow.

      From DonalKerr October 12

      Hi Friend; A small prayer from Ireland: God our Father, you sent Saint Patrick to preach your glory to the people of Ireland. By the help of his prayers, may all Christians proclaim your love to all men. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. God Bless; Dónal:

      Hi all, I'm new at this and may have posted this in error to ALL the communities - oops. I'm so glad I've found this site. I just received the word that I have severe emphysema and that I need to go on oxygen. I think I am still in shock from that news. I did smoke for about 20 yrs. but quit smoking 19 years ago. My regular doc has been treating me for 4-5 years for asthma. I've pressed her to refer me to a pulmo dr. Finally did & he's stunned that it took so long. More tests to come.
