Slowing down

Hard for me to say and certainly not easy. But it's finally my definite decision. At first, for half a year ago I thought I had enough power in me to pick up my work as an artist after I would recover from the hell I was going through. But then, two weeks ago, after I intentionally created a new FB account and lost a few thousand friends from all over the world, I knew it for certain: I would never be my old self again. The cancer and the strokes had a greater effect then I could have foreseen.
I became more indifferent about a lot of things and more sentimental about a lot of other things and because of the aphasia I could not have a proper social life anymore. So more and more I concentrated on my work as a photographer and artist.
40 years of doing what my heart told me to do. Creating art; that was and still is my life. I showed my art on exhibitions in many countries around the world but now I'm slowing down. First of all before the end of this year I'll take my business out of the USA and concentrate on my homeland Holland and Europe after that.
For next year I still have some exhibitions to attend and looking forward to that. But in general I will probably be most of my time in my tiny studio with my thoughts and memories doing what I do best; creating my art. No more hassle. No more pressure. Every day is a gift until the spirits are there to catch me when I fall.
