Grateful for gifts

New art supplies bring enthusiasm

Watercolor play

Look what arrived yesterday! My kind and supportive cousin, Nick Nickerson, gifted me a set of Daniel Smith watercolors and I can’t thank him enough. The quality is wonderful. I love them!

A morning of play this 38th day of the 100 day project and one step closer to a finished Artist’s Blessing piece.

The Mountain is You

Mugshot Monday with a message from Brianna Wiest

Let it go

Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked, and understood.

But it doesn’t matter, because the people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side, and you’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward.

Instead of liked, you’re going to be loved.

Instead of understood, you’re going to be seen.

All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are. 

Let it go.

Day 37/100 of The 100 Day Project.

Best Day Ever

Write it on your heart…

Best Day Ever

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations
