Thank you, Pablo! 04/13/2010
Pablo Picasso, vanguard of modern art, notorious lady's man, and the guy responsible for driving more than one lovesick woman to suicide, is the source of Belle Blog's quote du jour: "I am always doing things I can't do; that's how I get to do them." This morning, I read a Status Update on Facebook from the "Chautauqua Belle," an historical paddle wheeler that gives the folks on Chautauqua Lake a taste of what life was like at the turn of the last century, when the only transportation in the area was the steam ship! The Captain (actually, a young man named Mat Stage who spearheaded the re-building of the vessel some years ago) was calling for photos from people who had cruised on the steam boat, that would be included in their new, updated website. On a whim, I looked through my pictures from last summer, and posted a couple of the best on their Fan Page, thinking, "that'll be the end of that." Merely minutes later, there was a lovely message from Mat in my Inbox, saying how beautiful my photos were, and that they'd give me and Mom a season's pass to ride the Chautauqua Belle to our hearts' content this summer in exchange for the use of my photos! Who knew I could take website-worthy photos? And who knew that I could actually take decisive action, when I couldn't already foresee the outcome? And so here's to more of THAT (whatever "that" may be) whether I know how to do it, or not!  The Chautauqua Belle ~ Summer 2009 CommentsLeave a Reply | Welcome!
As an avid journaler, I rely on putting pen to paper, to write my way through the stuff and such of living a creative life - the challenges, the successes and every-thing in between. Belle Blog was begun to keep me accountable to the Creative Spirit, which is so often inhibited by the voice that says "You really oughtn't dare, Darling." This'll show her!
