Your art is wonderful, Matt! Great to hear your plans for 2025. I'm ever so behind on all sorts of things, including my reading on Substack - it's lovely to check out what you've been up to! All the very best, friend!

Thank you Rebecca! I'm so far behind too. I can't even remember when I read one of your posts. But I'm slowly getting there. Actually I do remember I did read a recent one but just haven't had time to respond yet. In due time, I'll get there.

I’m so glad you’re still finding time for your art. It’s looking good. Six days a week working is A LOT! I thought that current workplace agreements stamped out that practice but who knows how things work in America. Don’t overdo things. Best of luck balancing it all. Take care dear fellow.

Thank you Beth. Quite a few people that I work with work six days a week. I think we should get two days off but I think it is because this is the only way we can get the number of hours we need for the week. Plus we have issues with a lot of turnover. People are quitting and being fired all the time, so then they don't have enough people to take those places.

Sounds like you've been SUPER busy, Matt!

Focusing on one thing is better than trying to do too many things. If we spread ourselves too thin, we'll likely burn out, and nothing gets done! Keep up the good work—the abstract art projects are terrific!

Thanks Ms. Writer. I'm trying to balance a lot of stuff. Plus as you can see I'm just getting to these comments. I have to try to weave it in among everything else. Thanks for the nice comments on the art. I took a short break from it but now I'm back at it.
