Hi Susan!

I'm so happy to have stumbled upon your beautifully written pieces! You may have evolved over the years, but your beautiful essence is still the same! You have always been such a positive force. I saw it in you at Howard II Elementary--many moons ago. I was lucky to have you as a friend and mentor there! It's been fun getting glimpses of your family life and work through occasional FB posts over the years, but allowing access to your writings and inner thought is very cool! You are the real deal and you don't seem or need to sugar coat life. You are who you are and sharing the good things in life is a wonderful thing!

I'm new to Substack. I joined recently to follow a wonderful artist (Sandy Allnock) who I followed on Instagram and currently take online art classes from. She's funny and talented and skilled. She's a thinker, an optimist, eclectic, a wonderful writer and speaker. Tech wise--she's also going it going on there as she produces YouTube videos and the lesson for her online classes. She's a total workaholic!

I've been having fun learning how to draw and I'm exploring and experimenting with watercolor paints now too. I've found a new piece of myself and I'm enjoying new challenges.

I walk past the picture you drew for me almost every day. It's hung in every home we lived in--we are now in our 17th one! I have always loved that picture, but now that I am drawing a bit, I have much more of an appreciation for what you created! I hope you are still drawing and creating art!

It's a treat to know I can easily climb into your gratitude filled world and see it through your eyes on Substack. I love that you will make me think and delve into areas I may be neglecting. One think I know for sure is I will get a dose of Susan Abel positivity! :-)

BTW, one more thing, do you remember the cross stitched music box you made for my youngest son 37 years ago?! My grandkids loved it too! I have it hanging in my Art Studio!

We will need have a phone conversation soon and really catch up!

Hugs!
