My favorite is still the mammogram and I think it has to do with humanizing the thing we all dread - you've made it humorous and yet still a fragile tough thing we women have to do. I too have someone who will say negative things to me sometimes....I know her history and it's very sad. She sometimes puts others down to make herself feel better. I know she has a good heart though and I forgive her occasional meanness because I know she has so many hurts from the past. It's not right what she does, but I understand her and try to show her love regardless. She is a friend worth keeping....not all are. Dump those that aren't worthy!PAK ARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985770093478778520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-63694504155889411962010-05-16T19:18:14.046-04:002010-05-16T19:18:14.046-04:00A lovely postscript!

They are certainly not your friends. I can't imagine saying these things to someone's face. You're right, they are simply jealous. Please do not let go of your dream. Hold it in your heart, caress it and make it real. Even if you end up working somewhere else, I hope you still follow this dream. It's a good one.Katiejanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703557560000189704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-38674605884935281012010-05-16T03:58:00.951-04:002010-05-16T03:58:00.951-04:00Incredible, to be so nasty.Incredible, to be so nasty.ElizThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691208021622155317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-69428863124657139462010-05-16T03:55:12.581-04:002010-05-16T03:55:12.581-04:00I am amazed about all these negative people! too b...I am amazed about all these negative people! too bad they have to focus their own frustration at you....<br />But be glad these are not your friends you are talking about.<br />Don't let them bring you in doubt for even one second!<br />You know you have more people here believing in you and please never stop believing yourself!mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285970503295829713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-44597943369732143962010-05-15T20:15:47.499-04:002010-05-15T20:15:47.499-04:00I love the postscript!! yay grapes!!

No two people see the same art the same way. Things I wouldn't dream of hanging in my home SELL and things I think are terrific sometimes don't. (fill in sell, win prizes, get appreciated, shown, published, etc.)<br /><br />It's a crap shoot. And I will not let the turkeys get me down. True that a little encouragment goes a long, long way. And I have come to depend on my blog friends, and personal friends, and some family members to keep me busy making my art by way of their encouragement.<br />But I won't let the nay sayers sway me away from trying, not now, not ever! Because I know there is someone out there who is going to like something that I do.<br /><br />And there are many who already love Ms Em! No doubt about it.<br /><br />How dare they discredit her/you in anyway and how dare they be so mean spirited about your job situation. SHAME ON THEM!!! Who DO they think they ARE? Well, I am here to tell them they AREN'T not even close.Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-88955560129793043022010-05-15T15:09:55.635-04:002010-05-15T15:09:55.635-04:00people who are hurtful have sadness in them that h...people who are hurtful have sadness in them that have nothing to do with you.<br /><br />you are a sweetie, i could feel that right when i first came here. and i LOVE your drawings.

(And I'm not referring to my Ex...) It was a blow on top of the many I suffered that year.... but I think Suki is right - sometimes when you "choose" those friends from long ago, you are a different person - and so are they. Some people do behave oddly when another is "down"....who knows why: jealousy, an inherent sense of cruelty.... I don't know - but, I do know that you don't need these people in your life at the best of times. <br /><br />You are a wonderful person - your soul shines through every post, every photo, every drawing. Miss Em is GRRREAT! I hope you will believe in you....and your talent.<br />None of us who have commented are prone to giving "idle flattery"...<br /><br />We believe in you.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />♥ Robin ♥Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247046205493711677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-74805471943423758892010-05-15T10:26:50.716-04:002010-05-15T10:26:50.716-04:00Wow..

They learn it from their parents & they go on to teach it to their kids. My Moto is.. With friends like that who needs enemy's? So glad you stuck up for yourself. Your work is charming and fun and very appealing to a large number of people. I would rethink these so called Friends.Cris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-61240149654846822232010-05-15T08:37:59.266-04:002010-05-15T08:37:59.266-04:00Wow Mim.

What was the point of any of this? And you are one of the nicest people on the planet.<br />Ask yourself if you hadn't been friends with that guy for 30 years, would you honestly choose him as a friend today? (Not based on how he just acted.) We've been reanalyzing friendships since we've moved back.<br /><br />I think your art is fabulous! I love Ms. Em and I love your drawing style. And if you haven't been in the real world all this time, who has? You've been balancing a tough job and many family crises (sp?) for a couple of years. Let's see the naysayers stand up to those challenges!<br />I'm really pissed off.<br /><br />Stay true to yourself Mim. You have adoring fans and loyal friends. Let the others wallow in their own miseries. Hold your head high and be proud of all you do.<br />Stay fearless and hopeful because I believe your future is going to be bright!<br /><br />I just don't know what else to say other than I totally believe in your talent and your spirit and I love you.<br /><br />So there.<br /><br />And think about this. DH would not have encouraged you if he thought you had no talent. He knows what a gem you are. He knew it all along.<br /><br />Please keep drawing and loving what you do. Keep that wicked passion ;)<br /><br />xoxoxoxo<br />Lo♥studio lolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363808478293833466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-50257231739689138512010-05-15T07:19:38.968-04:002010-05-15T07:19:38.968-04:00such comments come from the speaker's own disa...such comments come from the speaker's own disappointments, sourness, lack of vision. I too have often wondered why people come on like this, unsolicited comments of such negativity. I think they dont realize how hurtful words like that can be. This is most likely how they talk to themselves whenever they come up with a fun, creative idea. If you tape recorded them speaking thusly they would be shocked. they dont hear themselves. <br /><br />That's too bad about yr friend of 30 years. I have observed in my life that, some of those long term friends are friends I chose when I was a different person myself. when I was "willing" to put up with such things and/or in a state where i didnt step back and observe how harmful such words were. thirty years is a long time and lots of inner changes can occur. Maybe this guy was always sort of negative but now, you are a different you and no longer willing to listen to such things.<br /><br />I also have wondered if such negative commenting is a form of bullying. much in the news nowadays this bullying. of course, with in every bully is a whimp. <br /><br />anyway, glad you believe in you, as do we out here too. Treat yourself to something special this weekend. you deserve it.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-10383110036866890562010-05-15T07:18:06.538-04:002010-05-15T07:18:06.538-04:00you are on a path, mim.
