The Dark Angel

An old lady died today. A mother. I am blessed, it wasn't my mother.
A cancer diagnosis was received today. I am blessed, it wasn't me.
A radical surgery was performed today. A disabling one. On a previously seemingly healthy father. I am blessed, it wasn't my husband.
A young man found out he has a year to live. I am blessed, it wasn't my son.
An elderly man was bleeding on the operating table today after a routine minimal invasive procedure got complicated. As I was pressing the vessel to stop the bleeding I thought 'I hope he makes it through the night'. I am blessed, it wasn't my father.

But I was there with all these people. I see them die. I watch their worlds crumble to pieces. And their families'. I do my best to try and help them as much as I can.
And then I come home. I put down the wings of The Dark Angel. And am so happy to be alive. And so blessed.

    Včasih pridejo takšni dnevi, da nas spomnijo na hvaležnost v majhnih stvareh... Lep angel...

Tiddly Spring

I adore the quiet evening moments, when I get out of my white working uniform and jump head first into the world of colours! Spring is the perfect time for it with inspiration all around me. The inspiration for this post was a cherry tree I pass every day on my way to work. The blossoms are so soft and gentle I can't help but run my fingers through them every morning, it just makes my day. I was so excited to see this new stamp at Tiddly Inks Cherry Wryn. Isn't she adorable? I could just imagine the soft petals on my skin when colouring it. A stroke of acrylic paint, a touch of Distress Inks, foamiran flowers and voila.. here she is, Miss Spring herself :) She is so adorable I made a few versions and can't wait to have time to colour some more! I'm happy to be part of TIddly Inks blog hop Also entering in : Cinspirations April challenge: Spring time Cutiepie challenge- Delightful digis Challenge up your life #90: Aquarell

Pocket money

 Because the thing a teenager appreciates most on a birthday card is.. its content:) The rest most often ends up in recycling.. 😆 Entering the card in: Craft-alnica izziv #35 : Za najstnika https://veselahiska.blogspot.com/2024/04/izziv-53-crka-d.html?m=1#more
