Well my horses are still sitting quietly without any work done to them.  I was afraid this would happen to me.  I am afraid of making mistakes so I haven't been able to do anything.  I keep finding pictures and saving them but as far as trying anything I just haven't done it.  I've got 2 horses ready to paint and I can't decide what color I want to make them.  I have 3 or 4 other horses I want to start on but I am not going to do anything until I finish the 2 horses on the table.  I'm sticking to that.  Why is it so difficult to get over my fear of making mistakes?!  I'm going to keep working on it. 
I finally got up the nerve to call my brother and it was so worth it.  I love talking to him and he sounds so good.  I'm so happy he's happy now.  He's a real dad and I think he's really enjoying it.  He is so blessed.  A beautiful wife, 2 beautiful kids, and wonderful in-laws.  I'm so happy for him.
