Hold on tight

Sat here looking a little bit like I've been dragged through a bush. But I simply must write this before I forget. (Simply must; I'm turning into a character from a Jane Austen novel...)

Anyway, two things I don't want to forget.

1. I actually love the sunshine. And it makes me so sad when I remember 2 summers' ago when I HATED the sun. I was like the most miserable panda in the sunny weather because I was so poorly in my brain. I just wanted grey skies, rain and general darkness, because that's what I felt like.

So now, I seem to appreciate the gloriousness (is that a word?!) of the sun even more. Every ray of light, every glimmering sunbeam, seems to mean a little bit more now. I appreciate it on a different level. Yes.  A different level. And not just because I live in England and it always rains.

2. It feels good to be back in my studio (the posh name for the spare garage that I've semi convereted.) To paint. To have space. To get lost in my canvas. Top banana all round.

Oh and...

3. This song from the glorious ELO.....


"Hold On Tight" by ELO

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold tight to your dream.

It's a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream

 When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over & over & over you could

 

  Hold on tight to your dream
  Hold on tight to your dream
  When you see your ship go sailing
  When you feel your heart is breaking
  Hold tight to your dream.
