Thinking about love, and why my life is happy

(one of the most
important teachers
in my life has been
my sister Sally. This
portrait was created
based on a black and white
wonderful portrait by
my father.)

Thinking about Valentine's day (and yes we're in Valentine's week), I am happy 
I did this painting of my wonderful sister.  We had a great conversation today.
She lives on the other side of this country (Canada). 

Sally is a family therapist.  Thanks to her brilliant therapy partner when she
was in Toronto, I have a very happy life, and a happy marriage.  

Also Sally is funny and compassionate, and beyond kind. I think she probably
exemplifies a loving person as much as anyone in my life.  Such a pleasure
to talk to her.

Have a loving your life day.
