Explanation of Mask: On my mask, I have things I love to do like fishing and biking that I used to do, but for some reason I don’t do it anymore.  Fishing means so much to me.  Without the eyes, the mask would be empty because I worry about that.  I don’t want to be the mindless grandfather.  I feel lucky for the people in my life that care.  The mouth displays that I am so emotional – so up and down.  The road is the long broken road that is showing what it has taken.  I have come far.  The gardening and the art is so therapeutic for me.  Doing tile work is like art to me.  My art work in high school was shown in a case, it is important to me.  The traffic is in my head that I sometimes can’t get out of my head – anxiety, worries.  The tears is the emotions that come when I can’t control it.  I am still looking for the light at the end of the tunnel – sometimes I see it and sometimes it goes away.  I feel lucky I get out of the house, even though it is so hard.
