A New Start

[valiha]

I'm back today after being away due to illness in the family.  My mother's been diagnosed with breast cancer and I've been with her throughout her operation and after it.  She's recovering at home, and the doctors are very pleased with the way things are going. 

I've been making wallpapers as a means of trying to keep my emotions from overwhelming me.  I wasn't going to  post them, but my mom saw them and encouraged me to do it.  They are animal themed wallpapers, and I made one for each of the boys, except Nathan, because I couldn't figure out which animal to use for him.  I need your suggestions on that.  I was thinking of maybe making a "Mother Hen" for him - what do you think?  You can find the wallpapers at my Scrapbook .

Hello! I'm glad your mother encouraged you to post these lovely wallpapers! I hope for a good recovery for your mother and I know how difficult family illnesses can be so I wish the best for you and your family.

Your header is lovely too with the misty background and the house with the effect that makes it seem as if it's fading back into time. I love the leaning Ezra too who looks like he's coming out of a relaxed lean into an alert state.

The backgrounds for the wallpapers really make me think of the old west, antique letters, and fading memories. I tried to think of an animal for Nathan but all I could come up with was the raven, which is clever, intelligent, curious, and has a majesty all it's own in flight: all things I think of when I think of Nathan.

I hope you continue sharing your gift with us all!

Thank you for your words of encouragement! I'm glad you like the wallpapers and the header, and I will continue making them whenever time and circumstances allow. I like your suggestion of an animal for Nathan; I did some quick checking and it seems to be a good choice for him. I'll upload the picture as soon as it's done.

Take care!
