It's been a stressful past few months. Lots of changes and things to take care of when getting divorced especially when you have non fine print soon to be ex. The amount of paperwork that has to be done and the work of getting my house ready to sell is at times overwhelming. Some times I just have to leave the house to find some peace and quiet. Get away from the negative energy vibes. On Saturday morning I went to a new coffee shop to work on some paperwork when a very nice young man a head of me turned around and said "your coffee is on me". That small random act of kindness lifted my spirits to no end. I also have a great group of friends who have pitched in day and night to help me. From making endless trips to Goodwill, helping load and unload truck loads of stuff, help clear out the house, cleaning up and just being there for me. So looking forward to selling the house and getting to move on to my new life!
We are in a similar boat it sounds like.... except I am still hanging in there and have not made the move to file papers, pack, unclutter the house, etc. So much to consider it is overwhelming. Wish I had the strength to move on like you are doing. Denise
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
