Well, we have to admit that Munch’s Scream has provided a great deal of good fun over the years…. it must be one of the most re-purposed paintings after the Mona Lisa! And it IS great fun. I’ve seen the original and it left me traumatised for a bit….
Thanks Beth for your beautiful optimism all year round. May the year 2023 be a joyful one. As I said many times before, we all will have shiny days, wrapped in gift paper, and others, where an old, crumpled, newspaper will just about hold it together. May yours be mostly of the first one.
Much love ā¤ļø
it really has served so many purposes over the years, I’m sure he never could have imagined it. thanks you so much for your very kind words, Kiki, and the same to you and yours -<3
There is no such thing as yesterdays or tomorrow, life is not cyclical, it is like a river forever moving, or like an ocean current or like the wind, no one knows where itās going or where itās beenā¦
Ha! Tonight at midnight I will be fast asleep in my nice warm bed, unless fireworks wake me up. When my eyes crack open tomorrow morning I will greet the new year with gladness and hope.
Happy New Year and onward through the fog…hopefully not human brain fog as that has seem to have been rampant this past year. But cheers for New Year’s
Thank you Beth!
Many of us will have a happy one when midnight strikes. Yay!!!
I wish better days for those who suffer in this crazy world. I count my lucky stars tonight! āØšāļøš«
Have a blessed and healthy New Year!
