Everyone has their skeletons, some people hold on to them forever. They let their skeletons sit in their closets & collect dust. They will get buried by life, but they are always there. Usually they pop up unexpected. They might cause some tears or suddenly make their keeper feel the way they did when they first shoved the skeleton away in the closet. Sometimes it’s a good idea to move yourself away from your skeletons, other times it’s good to deal with them and give them a proper burial. Most the time, they are simply ignored— until they pop up, unexpected.

“I’m sorry, I can’t make it… I have ‘group’ tonight”
I think it gives me that extra eclectic flare and air of mystery. Or maybe it leaves people wondering what kind of issues I am trying to recover from in group therapy. It’s always fun to keep people on their toes- but you know what is more fun? —”group”
Have a pleasant evening everyone!

I think our version is better than the original, well… at least it’s shorter.

I was so excited about this piece of sign foam. It was sooo cool with it rectangular shape and sandy texture. I couldn’t wait to carve it and sand it—make something beautiful. So here it is- it needs some more work, but I find it charming. My feedback so far has been:
“You have a great future as and old man whittler”
“It looks like it should be in a wedding”
“Maybe some old ladies would like this!”

So it appears people like it …
