Wish

Today is my Mommy’s 60th birthday! It is hard to believe my parents are really that old, haha. How can this be possible when I still feel like their little girl? I remember one surprise party we had for my Mom back when she was young, younger than I am now (it must have been before her parents died). She was so thin and looked fabulous in a bikini. Superficial observation, but that is what I remember – that and her energy, optimism, and drive. She was healthier then, and happier. She still has the drive but a lot of the energy, optimism and happiness has been sapped out of her by health issues and life’s trageides, or can I say (I wanna’ write this for some reason) life’s relentlessness. I wish that for her birthday she can regain some of that happiness, that optimism and energy from her younger days. She still looks fabulous.

Frida

Frida Kahlo
 
I saw a portion of the movie Frida this week-end and I wanted to know more about her. I just started investigating and all of a sudden I am fired up – inspired. Her life story is very interesting. I love her paintings, so colorful and dreamlike. There are deep psychological messages in them, something of the subconscious. I want to know more, see more. It is weird because her style of painting (surrealism, almost pop art) isn’t usually my cup of tea but I am drawn to them.
 
From wikipedia:
"Kahlo once said, ‘I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.’ " I love it! I am totally feeling that. That is my blog – I write about myself because that is what I know best. I wish I could paint.
