And, on that same day, I had looked at a photo of myself at 18.
Grandhunk #3 saw this photo and commented that it didn't look like me. I agreed, 65 years necessarily causes changes. Unlike many of my girlfriends at the time, I didn't feel like I had all the answers. But I did feel an inner strength from a faith that had seen me through parents divorcing at age 5, boarding school at age 8, moving to Australia at age 11, entering my first co-ed public high school at 15, and more. So, yes, I feel that I have grown into that woman, and that warm hug.

| "Maryann": ink brush drawing on acrylic with collage. |
Whenever I use acrylics, I use the leftover acrylic on all kinds of paper. With no ideas on what I will use them for later on. Here is a sample.
Tonight I decided to try an ink brush drawing on it.

My first ink-brush was dry, but still usable to start.
I used torn pieces of heavier paper, leaving the torn edges to show. I like what it adds. I might have added collage to the face area, or background area, but not tonight.
I cropped this one, as the hair seemed the weakest part?
Total time, 40 minutes. I could have played with it digitally, and still might another time. Thanks for visiting.
Just because ...

What a extraordinary pretty young woman you were at 18, Jacki! 18 for me was the best age of my life before having my children. I also had survived some challenges but surely not so many as you did. You were so brave and you really can be very proud of the woman you have grown into.
Thanks for sharing this special story with us, Jacki.
Thanks Elenor, I had to think a minute but I guess I think now is the best age, Being able to look over the many years. I have been blessed, and you are one of my many blessings.
