Description
I thought to myself, what sort of female don’t you see much of on DA in artwork?
Answer, little old ladies.
These three very senior DeviantArtists are having a small reunion.

Warning
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other peoples' gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Another New Year ..."Another new year is here ...
Another year to live!
Let go of worries, doubt and fear,
Let us love and laugh and give!
This new year is given to me
To live every day with happiness ...
To grow up every day and try to be
As good as I can!
I have the opportunity
Again to fix the mistakes
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And to sing more joyful songs ”
William Arthur Ward
