30 Faces in 30 Days: Day 13

Yesterday I had a medical procedure and one of the nurses had the most astonishingly beautiful eyes. Of course, I was wondering if the bottom half of her face was just as beautiful. I'd like to think so, although if it was a Saturday Night Live skit, she'd remove her mask and have teeth sticking straight out and no chin.

This is not that nurse, but I wanted to salute the dedicated health care professionals who are doing heroic deeds these days. For those of us who like to whine about wearing masks, just think of your whole workday--sometimes very long hours--wearing a mask. It can't be easy.

The Amazing Rhonda, 11x14 Oil on Canvas

This painting gave me something to be inspired about, something to make me look forward to getting up in the morning. I always call our niece "The Amazing Rhonda," because she is. She managed to put herself through nursing school and raise four sons as a single mom. She is used to crisis situations as a trauma nurse at the University of Penn hospital in Philadelphia. She is kind, generous, and energetic and devoted to her children and grandchildren. She is indeed The Amazing Rhonda.
