Went to museum

[melbrown]

The De Young museum has an exhibit of Monet's later works going on... I love art, find peace in it. It's an enjoyment I haven't been able to enjoy for awhile. Inspired by Elliott I decided to make a point of going. My husband was lucky enough to get us tickets & we went this past Saturday. Though my anxiety was acting up & at times it was tough... crowds, especially noisy ones make it worse... I pushed through. The paintings were BEAUTIFUL ❣ A lot of water lilies, Japanese bridge & weeping willows. They also have a Gauguin exhibit going on too... enjoyed his wood works a lot. I am glad we went... hopefully we'll do this again soon.

Thank you Elliott for reminding me of this love... everyone remember just because you have a mental illness it doesn't mean you should give up. You still are amazing & can enjoy life.... try to push yourself to do something you love. You can do it ❣

😊 You give me plenty of smiles too.

Your garden is going to be gorgeous once the rain is done ... a lot of gardening to do too. The rain is supposed to return here... bummed because we have a dressy event to go to. Might have to change my plans on what I was going to wear. No turning into a duck 🦆 We love you the way you are. Plus Alan's terrier might get you...

Lots of love & hugs our dear one.

And I'm proud of you Elliott for sharing your positive moments with us. x

It can't help but spill over and encourage us to keep moving forward. xx

Mel, that was a big step forward for you. As difficult as it may have been at times,

you allowed the beauty and passion you have for art to overcome your fears.

I'm proud of you. xx

Oh, thanks Agora💗 It is so hard to push through the anxiety.... to believe what it's telling us is wrong. I really wanted to go to it... kept telling myself who knows if I'd get this chance again. My husband was there & he was really sweet kept checking on me.

Hi Alan 🙋🏼‍♀️ You would've loved it... think they had a least 10 of his water lilies... all so beautiful. It was so neat... could've spent the afternoon there if it was quite (was allowed to).
