one!
Can’t believe it, my sweet niece is almost one! I made this portrait for her…but really for her parents too. In my mind, the 1st year with a child is cause for celebration. So much adjusting, bonding, and love.
I have a few things up my sleeve. Hopefully I will get to them in time. I have been experiencing some pretty intense pain in my jaw, cheeks, and head. Maybe TMJ? Sinuses? No one knows. All I know is that I have a new sympathy for people with chronic pain…I will look forward to the day that my head stops reminding me that I hurt. Bleck.

Carol, this is so sweet and special!
I’m sorry about your facial pain– please try to find someone who does cranio-sacral therapy, and have a session. Or you can come visit me, and I’ll do as many sessions as you need! But I’m serious, it will probably help you.

That is so sweet! I love it!
Oh! I am so sorry you are in pain! I hope you find relief soon! Ariana’s idea is a great one!

I’m having the exact same pains. Maybe it’s the change of seasons/ air humidity affecting our sinuses?
That’s my self-diagnosis, at least!
:D
The portrait is beautiful!

carol–I’m sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. I hope you are able to figure out what is causing it. God bless you in that journey. It seems there is always something to be learned with pain. I would like to tell you again that I always look at your blog to get inspired. Thank you!!

Hi Carol,
Your blog is at the top of my list… I always enjoy it but don’t often comment. So, picture me reading your blogs! And I hope you’re feeling better very soon!

If it’s sinusitis I feel your pain. I get a bad bout of that a few times a year–and always following a cold–and it’s brutal. Hope you feel better soon.
That portrait is a gift that will be treasured! I think you’re right–the first birthday really is a celebration of the parents’ first year as much as the child’s.
