Puerto Rico ... here I come!!!

Puerto Rico has been a back and forth issue with me recently. Not only me but my family as well. I am very dependent on my family in a way. Im very family oriented so me and my family are very close. We do almost everything together. In addition, I also spend an unGodly amount of time with my parents, I consider them first and foremost my parents, but also my best friends, both of them. They can get on my nerves, but no one is perfect, and I love them to death. So in the recent months my mother has been suffering the side effects of post menopausal hell so I am obliged to be patient even though Im not always so.  This , in addition to my fathers incessant need to leave Florida, has combined to create a veritable confusion sphere that has spanned over 4 months. You can imagine, emotional meltdowns, many hospital visits, arguments, negativity, but Im proud to say that was all intertwined with love, unity, and in a way strength, thank God. Without the latter, I dont think I'd be around to type this. But that edgy time has passed. My parents are now in their home in PR, waiting for me to come on over. My foremost goals over there will be to first set up my attendance at the University of Puerto Rico, then concentrate on a new skill to learn, execute, and use to my advantage. Woodblock carving and printing. I know it sounds very ambitious, and it is daunting, but I love the challenge and I actually see myself doing it once I get there. It wont be easy, but its worth a try. I cant wait to start and see the result. I know, for some strange reason that it will turn out well. Digital art I will not forget, but will be secondary for the time being.
