Ping Pong Approach to Painting

Can I tell you one more thing we did this weekend?  Except for church, we never left the cottage for three days until the last night when we decided to clean up and go out to eat---truth be known, the kitchen was just too jumbled with stuff to cook.  On the way back from dinner, we passed many fields where crops of corn, wheat, etc. have been cut and taken away, leaving behind lots of good eats for deer, etc.  This particular night, I put down my window and began looking for deer in the dark fields.  My husband, being the good sport he is, slowed the car and handed me a flashlight.  Shining the light out the windows at the fields, I was able to see the eery glow of eyes staring at me from the dark.  You can’t imagine how excited I got as I saw each deer’s eyes!  It was like looking into the glowing soul of the animal.  And I felt like I had won a prize each time my light located a deer.  Combined with the cool night air, the exhilarating hunt for animals in the night, and my love giving me this experience, I felt like I was in Heaven! 

Vascular dementia has softened me and allowed me to experience life as I never would in the past.  This dementia enables me to touch that inner child and take in everyday with the vigor of an adventurous child. 

Hmmm…This dementia is NOT so bad after all!
