Great advice from one of my former blogs -- compliment each other -- Praise, praise, praise!

A very good, and very strange day.  I took taxis to a hearing clinic for tests because I was
tired and didn't feel like risking driving.  Both taxi drivers were so kind, and such
good drivers.  One fellow had lost a relative in the 2014 incel terrorist attack in
Toronto.  His relative had stepped out for lunch and was hit by the van, and killed.

The taxi driver who drove me on the way home was broken hearted that Justin
Trudeau is not going to be our prime minister.  The whole take down of Trudeau
feels stupid and social media generated. I agreed with the taxi driver. 

Weirdly Pierre Poilievre who has the most support in Canada at the moment is
connected to an incel group who want to disconnect themselves from women.

But on an up note I have normal hearing! And I am moving back into my studio
this week to begin working on paintings for my solo show at the Heliconian club
in April, and now perhaps May too! I know.  Today I found out that I will have
approximately 102 feet of display space. Woo Hoo! I will use a lot of my currently
available work of course, and I hope to create some exciting new stuff in the next 
few months!

Let's cheer each other on.  Even in hard times we can do great things.

Have a praising your friends day.
