Just a series of notes from me to you! Thank you!  

Hey all!

Hope you are well this day. Thank you for stopping by and thank you so much for your support in any form. Paid or not, I appreciate you checking out the art. Ideally, you enjoy what you are seeing!

Well, it’s been a CRAZY year for every one of us and I wanted to share something…

Things will get better. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but sooner than you think. For a few of you, perhaps things are already on the lift. For others, perhaps you think this pandemic, the lockdown and a myriad of other events are just dragging on forever with no end in sight. Let your old pal Ready assure you, things will change for the better, they always do. 

That might be hard to believe and MANY of you have undoubtedly had very hard days in the last few months and perhaps many have had a tough time for a long time. I’m not privy to each of your days or your struggles. What I do have is knowledge about is the human spirit of cooperation. We are better when things are good, when we work together. We are all standing, sitting or reading this message right now thanks to COUNTLESS centuries of progress and cooperation. Tons of adversity has happened for sure but so has progress and advancement. 

My feeling when the pandemic starts clearing up is we will see people come out and really start striving for their dreams. My expectation is we might even see a new renaissance of creativity. How many people are sitting in their houses reassessing their lives right now? Maybe they are planning to finally write that book, maybe they are planning to do that creative thing they have been wanting to do. I feel like all that pent-up creativity is there and starting to come out. I was talking to some of my friends recently and many of them are spending more time not just with their families but with themselves. A few are depressed but some are invigorated. There is a theme among all of them; that of taking inventory of their lives and goals. That my friends, is always a good thing. 

If you are having a tough time, know I am truly hoping things take a swing for the better for you. That may not seem like a lot I know but I believe in you and I think you can pull through this. There are so many people around you that do love you and are rooting for you. You probably have no idea how many. No one is alone on this amazing planet. We’re all here together and if you feel alone there are many out there who would love to help you out in any way they can. Heck, maybe YOU can lift someone up! Wouldn’t that be nice!

So, a big SAFE hug from your pal Ready and I hope you have an excellent day. Also, I look forward to seeing YOUR masterpiece, YOUR great work, YOUR creative endeavor. 

Love you!
