How are you? Have you had a good weekend and started a better new week?

In the past for about 10 days, except fighting with the headache by taking double painkillers and more sleep, with the good help of my work partners, I have completed the frame design of the CD of my publication; opened a new column -- Shirley's Comprehensive Art. (includes the secondary columns: I created combines art, I created music, bilingual Chinese songs, and story behind of the painting, music and poems); painted two new paintings; wrote a new article to introduce one of the stories of 《二十四孝》: Er Shi Si Xiao - Twenty -Four Dutiful Sons, to explain the meaning on my new painting; also, I have ordered some of the response from my friends and readers in Jan, 2013...

You can see them via the links below and hope to bring you a big smile. :-)

An interesting thing was that after I basically completed all of these work, my serious headache has gone and now, I am writing to you with a very clear mind and a peaceful heart.

A strong feeling is that when we met something confused, if we complained about this or that, did not keep working on it, then we would not really complete it. Oppositely, if we can calm down, think of more and arrange things reasonably, the most important, if we can work on everything down to earth, then, jobs will be done one by one, problem will be resolved one by one. So many confused things will be in the order along with the time.

The key is to keep working on every thing we must do, no matter it is big or small down to earth.

So, now, I am working on every detail in person: to paint painting one by one; to translate poem, lyric , Chinese folk song one word by one word; to sing the song while to play the music one piece by one piece ( Instead of playing it on my electronic organ as usual, first time I played my own music on piano, I know it is on the too low level to be listened to, :- ) I am sure, time will help me to make progress... :-) ), at the same time, I am thinking of promoting my little web site from a personal blog, to be a business web site, endow it the new functions of publishing information, marketing and classroom online.

With the hard work down to earth day and day, my future dream will be true on some level some day finally. Do you think so?

Do you have anything special to share on your side?
I am just a student on Art of Painting, Music, English and Management, to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do a few things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be an Electronic Bridge of Inter-Art & Cross - Culture Exchange, Chinese Language Learning & Friendship Making. To help the others while to improve myself.

I would like to appreciate you for your understanding, directions, supports and help.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you are welcome to write to shirley@ebridge.cn or leave your message on Message Board.
