Look at me! Slightly strained smile (posing in front of the bathroom mirror will do that!). My faithful companion in my hands. Maybe you can't see the deep crows feet around my eyes so well. I've been thinking about them a little bit this week. I'm very proud of them. I could never botox them away. So very many head back, tears in my eyes, almost wet my pants, laugh out loud times are represented by those lines.
I am dogged by a persistent sadness at the moment. I just need to let that be and enjoy so much the fact that every day, in the face of that (not black dog but) grey shaggy puppy, my laugh lines deepen.
I went to Craignish on Monday.
I visited Scott on Wednesday - his talent is so extraordinary.
And a quick visit with Trish today - and a special glimpse at her life....

oh, Mary, I am chained to the laptop, ineffectually struggling with a mountain of work which I don't seem able to defeat. My head aches and I keep wishing I could run away from it all....
and then I come here and feel as if I have. Seeing your lovely face, and the wonderful photos of Craignish are almost as good as a jaunt in fresh air. Thank you so much. I swear I can smell that earthy winter garden smell...
YOu know I'm not going to tell you how to suck eggs but seeing as I've just been an opinionated git this week (see Badger's blog for further detail) I'm just going to tell you something that has lessened my chronic sadness of late. Just kiss the alcohol good bye for a little while. Doing so is not the answer, not the solution, but it will make a difference. I promise.
OH, and I miss you. When you can come and fill my house with your voice, laughter and presence?
You're looking might fine, Miss Mary! Makes me happy to see you...
Kiss the alcohol goodbye??!!???
I'm sitting here looking at a lovely glass of red even as I type. It is making me happy. (Or at least.... not sadder...)
People need to be blue sometimes. How else will we know when we're gloriously happy (and making crows' feet) if we never know the opposite?
So lighten up. You're actually being productive. You're going to LOVE being happy when the feeling strikes again.
I love this self-portrait. I know it 's probably trivial to tell you so, but as they said in Steel Magnolias at the funeral "at least your hair looks fabulous"
Hello dear Mary, you look beautiful with your kickarse haircut and your funky ring. I am sorry you are weighed down by sadness, I know that you have the grace to ride it out but I hope you don't have to wait too long. Honestly, you have good reason to feel sad so I would encourage you not to beat yourself up about it. Keep seeking joy in each day and only worry yourself if it persists longer than you feel it should.

I love your face.
Kim is wise you know.
And a wise-ass as well.

Mary, it does my heart good to see you!
Persistent sadness has been my middle name lately. It's summer where I am, and the bright, hot sun makes an odd contrast to my sorrow. Or maybe I'm just one of those odd ducks with reverse seasonal affective disorder...
Take good care of yourself. xo
How lovely to see you!
Sometimes you have to get used to living alongside sadness rather than try to get rid of it. Maybe it will always be part of you, it may shape you. I know my sadness will never go, and I'm not sure I want it to. If you know what I mean...
You are so very beautiful, inside and out. You shine across continents.
Oooo...LOVING the hair girlfriend!!
My god you're creative and prolific at the moment. Your three photo-blogs are simply stunning.
Love your snappy 'do.
I feel the same about my crow's feet. And my scarred, ill-shaped tummy. I've earned every line and scar. I wouldn't go back a year or a month.
you're right to be proud
You look so much like a strong beautiful friend I have known for 62 years!
When I was once crying, & someone, a Dr, asked why? I replied "I am allowed to cry."
"Yes," he replied with astonishment, "You are!"
I LOVE your hair!! I think you look gorgeous, and I love how you treasure every line (although I don't see any)... :)
ADORE the hair! So lovely. I feel the same way about crow's feet, laugh lines, stretch marks. They are the stories of our lives, marked forever and added to as the years roll on. Would never wish them away. Go with the flow, dear Mary. Thinking of you...
xx
Mary, you look great! And I think it is good to be sad sometimes, it helps us appreciate when we are happy, like a rainy day makes the sunny days that much more beautiful. I love you attitude regarding your crow's feet etc...
I wish you all the best
I'm so happy to be able to see you. And I, too, think laugh lines and crow's feet are the best kind of lines. My SIL has an abundance of them and I think they are beautiful.
You look great. Not 62 at all.

I have been away for a while1 great to see you! I have enjoyed all of your new photos!
I LOVE seeing YOU! I don't believe I've ever seen a photograph of you. GORGEOUS! The way you described your smile lines almost makes me not want to Botox mine... again. ;-)
