I know I used to be a regular here and would like to be again, I just seem to have lost my motivation. Got caught up in a lot of personal stuff, mostly concerning my kids. My son, as some may know, is on the autistic spectrum. He takes up a lot of time but every advance he makes is worth it.

Every damn second.

My grandma's death last October also hit pretty hard, I just didn't realize it at the time. I am not an overly emotional person, correction, I am but I am good at hiding it. Even from myself.
Her death coincided with the car crash I was in. I have been home since. Slowly recovering, I will get there. The worst part was how it shattered my confidence. I find myself in dark places at times, due to the pain and the slow progress.

I am not sure why I am writing this. Maybe I needed to vent? Perhaps I felt, you, my friends in this special spot on the internet deserved an explanation?
Thanks for reading this.

No explanation needed friend. Life and family come first. You've got to ensure that your every day life and loved ones are taken care of before you bother with us chumps :)

Glad to see you popping in and I hope to see more from you but in the meantime, take care of you and yours.

Blessed Be Friend.

We all need time to nurse life's wounds now and again.
The cool thing about this site, that I've found, is that there are a lot of good people who are willing to bend an ear, lend a shoulder, or open a virtual pipe through which one can vent.

'tis what keeps me coming back time and again.
Well, that and the great art...

So, feel free to utilize us here for any, or all of the aforementioned purposes.

I look forward to seeing more of your art.
And hope the best for you and your family through this difficult time.

I agree. Life comes first, and we are here to be vented to. talk to and what ever it takes.

To help with your inspiration, look at what we are offering as prizes for the Evil Rising event we have going on :)

Thanks guys. Hope I did not come off as whining. Hell, I know that some of our members have had seriously bad problems recently. Far worse than mine.

This site is great, not only for the art, also because we're a family, last year was the worst year of my life and here I received kind words of hope, now I feel a little better still some ghost, but I could see that I have good friends here, that take a little time to say things that can make you feel a little better!

Glad to hear from you yet sorry to hear about such dismal circumstance. You don't come off as whiney. Life can throw a terrible curveball at us at times and it can help to vent to friends. I hope things improve for you and we see you back here soon.
