My mom inlaw used to speak of it after gardening for hours on her own. It's such a great feeling to be able to lose yourself in whatever you're doing.<br /><br />Thanks Shelly..."Art reflects our histories, our voices, our human frailties and when we put it into a tangible form for others to share, view and absorb, it becomes part of a larger experience".... I love what you have said and will put your words in my quote book.<br /><br />Jo, there's nothing quite so satisfying as being able to create something with your hands is there?<br /><br />Grrl, you've made a very good point.
