You did make me chuckle with your comment. I am having a difficult time selling things at the moment. I want to keep everything but husband tells me that's not the point of Yonks Di. He is a poop! I read your last blog and sorry you have been under a cloud. Also glad you can self analyse and tell yourself how it is. We are all a result of our past, all damaged and with baggage. It's how we deal with it that counts and you sound like you know what's happening. I always tell myself the past does not equal the future. We survive despite our parents efforts. I have a beautiful 20 year old daughter and I am sure I've screwed her up in more ways than one, but she will survive despite my meddling! You are precious Mitch, we all are! Keep smiling my friend, you have so much to give.<br />Di<br />XYONKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659751063643621817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-26969662728899916352012-01-21T19:30:36.711+01:002012-01-21T19:30:36.711+01:00Ja!

But I do genuinely hope this positive feeling can be maintained. If ever you do want to let your feelings really rip on this site then I can assure you that you will have more than a few bloggers with sympathetic and supportive feelings towards you. However, with your talented brother, Chuck, you already should have in him and his artwork, at least one further reliable means of 'support', and in the flesh too.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-10426105407149121092012-01-21T06:20:14.057+01:002012-01-21T06:20:14.057+01:00Don't know why but when I read the last paragr...Don't know why but when I read the last paragraph I burst into tears.

We had stacks of framed art in the garage over the years because we were such "amassers" (I'd say "collectors" but that would imply a plan) that we ran out of walls. We only brought some select things with us to Spain. Chuck's paintings were on that elite list. It's strange to actually have space on the walls for once in our lives.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-72906242939717363652012-01-20T23:45:55.893+01:002012-01-20T23:45:55.893+01:00J&L:
