A picture from not so long ago ---

Purple orchids

This is one of my very early attempts at painting realistically. And its probably done with all kinds of  paints ! But it brings back so many memories and it looks like it was the start of something good !

I was younger then even though by just 4 years;
So much seems to have happened then
Loss, death , -----
Stress, of exams which are not mine;
Stress of no "me" time ! And then,
Finding deep joy in the ordinary.

A realization that time is short
Time really waits for no one;
Taking time to breathe
And trying to enjoy experiences
To the fullest.
Thats a lot for just 4 years !

Is this growing up ?
It probably is.
I think I just appreciate growing up
Because I am a grown up !
Fun in the small things
That is growing up for me.
