Trying to make a point at the expense of
an older relative set in their ways can be fruitless.
Especially when you know that person is
pretty narrow minded!!I It's
pointless to waste energy trying.

Opened minded types with good character
are often a lot easier to reason with!
Even when they have strong convictions
they seem to be more likely to embrace a
new idea! It's the stubborn mid aged

Those void of compassion, understanding,

character! What does your character say
about you?
Are you a wallflower who sits around looking
pretty but prefers not to be seen or heard.
One who never helps while all the others
do the work around you?

| Day 14 The Baker |
Are you the baker who never goes anywhere empty handed?
Quietly helping others behind the scenes but rarely
recognized for his good deeds.
Quietly helping others behind the scenes but rarely
recognized for his good deeds.
Are you the Bird Lady who is always flapping her
wings, flying around frantically so busy with no
time for intimacy? Laying a few eggs along the
way wondering why she's so tired and
unfulfilled.
Are you the Gardner planting new seeds,
nurturing her creative garden? Spending time
admiring the fruits of her labour, sharing her
harvest with others. Plugging along at
natures pace thinking of new things to grow.

| Day 12 The Librarian |
cull information to share with the world? Needing more
quiet time than most to absorb as much knowledge
as she can in one sitting? Hoping one day to
convey the best parts of what she's learned
by writing a book!

| Day 11 Flower Girl |
always so full of disappointment? Finding the worst in every
situation, never feeling satisfied?
Are you a colourful wallflower who looks
more interesting than she actually is?
Living in the past, not up on current events,
slightly narrow minded with gossip and
complaints her only form of conversation?
Are you the Singer in search of adoration?
Worshiping money, constantly capturing selfies!
Waiting for others to fail so she can feel better
about herself !
Or the Singer who sings from her soul
whether others are listening or not?
Enjoying every aspect of other musicians,
more interesting than she actually is?

Are you a caregiver? Kind to all, especially

compassion to boring old stories without
a wince of angst. Absorbing the lessons
of the ages?

When something questionable is said that I'm not
quite sure how to take. I always revert back to a persons
character. If I know them to be kind and loving with
good intentions I always make what they say a positive!
What does your character say about you?

What a delicious collection od paintings!!!
Hmmm! I am an introvert, and need to have some time alone on a daily basis. However, I am definitely not a pushover and love to get involved if I believe I can make a difference. I was touched by your piece of "Homeless in the City," because it reminds me of the Good Samaritan. I wrote about that this week. Blessings, my friend!
Fun art and post. I think I am always just 'ME', and probably won't change much in the coming years! Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
Great art Giggles - I think I am quite a mix of all the characters.
Happy PPF!

What a great post, Giggles! You really analyse well our charicters. I can find many features of mine among them. Love your paintings.
Happy PPF xx
As always a post that makes me soul search. I'm not sure I fit into any of your beautifully illustrated boxes. Our characters change as we grow. Personality is not set and you can change it as we mature and develop as people. Life's commitments too form our being and that too is open to change.
I think I'm a librarian who bakes and gardens :) A thoughtful post as usual.
I was trying to figure out what one. I think the gardener. I certainly relate to that one the most. Think I am an artistic gardener who likes to mix the 2 as much as possible. :)

What a thoughtful post to go with your colourful art. I must be a caregiver, or maybe librarian.
Such a lot to ponder this week, Sherrie. That's one thing I get from your blog each week --- things to ponder. Not sure where I fit in with your characters but I did so enjoy meeting all of them. Lately, for some reason I have been in tears for people I hear about on the news and I don't know why that's happening. Thanks for sharing your wonderful illustrations as well as your thoughts.
Great post and wonderful art. I especially like your painting of the homeless. I hope I am a "gardner". With over 100 orchids on my lanai, I had better be. Happy PPF
what a super thought provoking post-and full of your awesome colorful paintings as usual!! I would have to be a combination of gardener, caregiver and baker, something I think I've always had in me from the time I can remember.
Happy PPF and almost weekend too. XO
Fantastic characters this week Giggles. Your pieces always have tons of personality and that's what I love about them. I am shy and introverted, so it always takes some coaxing to come out, but once I am comfortable, watch out. I've been a teacher for decades and the kids don't let you not becomes a leader. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
I just love your art and the colours you use, but I generally get so much out of all you write that it is the true joy for me. As usual, lots to think about! I daresay you're halfway to designing your own tarot/oracle card set too! if you ever do have one completed, let me know ;)
What a wonderful collection of characters and soulful art! I may be a mix of this and that, a caregiver for sure as well as happy and peaceful appreciating all the little precious, simple daily pleasures in life!
I love your fun characters, the colours you've used too are really vibrant and alive
Hugs

Great mix of characters! I am part librarian i think, love books and want to write tons so badly. But i really like your bird lady too, so cute
Wow! This is a wonderful post. Sure does make a person think about their own character...I did. I am the Gardener and Caretaker. I would like to think that I am able to combine the two together. Thank you for making me think! Hugs, Rasz
Love all of your little characters this week !!!! I'm such a mix of most of them. I strive to be kind and to make right an injustice. I have no control of the world at large but I can do the best I can at making the world around me be a place of Peace and Kindness and hopefully pass those traits on to those who know me. If enough of us strive for that the world would be covered with Peace and Kindness. ♥
Love your colorful art - as always! Thought provoking post as well. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Very interesting! Not sure if I am any of these characters though! Need to invent a new one!
I'm a librarian... and introvert, too. ;)
Beautiful arwork, as always! <3
You have a lovely blog and your header is fantastic! These are all lovely! :)
the colours of Homeless are so gorgeous, and I love the funky glasses of the librarian. An interesting mix of characters, and I think I got a little bit of every one in me :-)
I love seeing all your girls together!!!
So many fun and colorful girls! My favorite is the one with the bright cityscape.
Your flower girl is so sweet! You do such lovely, colorful, and creative works. Thank you for visiting my website, I appreciate the sweet words you left on my blog.
Your characters here are all fantastic, each with his or her own character as you describe.
I am certainly a gardener at the moment and will willingly share courgettes with anyone (courgette gardeners will understand) and I love your gardener with her bright striped jersey and orange hair.
I like "The Singer" especially in the pink and orange version.
Can I be "The Librarian" and read a book for a while?
"Homeless in the City" is very touching.
This is an absolutely fascinating blogpost with so much to think about and the lovely detailed paintings to admire.
Thanks, Giggles.
Great set of character portraits! Enjoyed all of them. I am not sure which one is me! All of them and none of them?
Oh how wonderful~ Love them all and such magical happy colors!
Wishing you a happy weekend ~ ^_^
Wow - I love your paintings and the characters. And I also loved reading your words or captions to them. Have to come back to try and find myself (got to rush to work now :))
Great art work and characters! Being a librarian by profession, I guess that's what I truly am. I definitely need my quiet time, although these days, my reading is much lighter and more for pleasure and entertainment than for absorbing knowledge. And I'm happy to leave the book writing to others... But I have to admit that often, I prefer books and fictional people to real ones... But I guess we are all a mix of different character traits, some being more prominent at times, and others in other situations.
wow, you are so creative. My favorite is the little gardener :)
What a great post. I had such a good time going through all of the pictures. I have to say after teaching 54 years, I relate to the librarian and she is my favorite. My second is the poor little flower girl. When I was in 2nd grade, I was my teacher's flower girl....but I did not do what I was supposed to do. Instead of dropping the flowers as I walked down the aisle, I gave them to my little classmates no matter where they were seated. It turned out to be quite comical. Thanks for your visit to my blog tonight. genie
I love your thoughts and your characters. I think I might be a combination of them all.
I love your work!
I love your characters! I prefer cold places, because of the heat off me energy.
Beautiful work!
