Hello, Paula Gaon here, Libra Sun, Cancer Rising, Aquarius Moon. Nice to meet you. I'm one of many aging BabyBoomers scratching my head and wondering where the time went and why I still feel so confused. That planned career never came to fruition, and earning a living is just a necessary chore. A few years ago, after that proverbial mid-life crisis-which I prefer to think of as an extended adolescence, and my mother's advice, decided to get back to artwork-ie clear out the accumulated cobwebs and neurosis and bring to light all that's been gestating the past 30+ years. So here it is. Look forward to sharing a few ideas and images with you! Come over & rap with us: http://www.apsense.com/invite/paulag5777

On With The Dream-February, Short & Sweet






February's always been one of my favorite months, although nothing beats June and July. But think about it. Sun is in Aquarius most of the month, a nice, intellectual air sign, putting Sun at a very comfortable angle for us Libras and Geminis. All the holiday hype is definitely over. February's holidays are quiet and low key--Valentine's Day--a little chocolate, maybe some flowers. Presidents Day--we Baby Boomer kids cut out silhouettes of George and Honest Abe, read a few stories to instill a bit more patriotism; and in later years, Black History Month--more stories and history, but at least another diversion from the beaten path. And last but now least, Ground Hog's Day reminded us that Spring Break was just around the corner!


Most of us don't get a Spring Break anymore, but chocolate still tastes good in the February cold, and it's sort of fun thinking about wearing light weight clothing again--really they're making winter clothing heavier and heavier every year!

Onward & Upward,
~Paula
