Day 10 of gratitude....

On this 10th day of gratitude, I am thankful for my creative passion.  It is and has always been my saving grace.  It gives me such peace when times are bad.  It gives me confidence in myself and who I am.  It calms me and helps me see more clearly.  Oh I am so very thankful for this passion.

Made by our own little hands....

Today I am grateful for all things made by hand.  There is so much beauty in something that is carefully crafted by human hands.  The slight imperfections and uniqueness make it that much more beautiful.  A painting, a crafted product, a piece of jewelry is so amazing to me because there is not another one exactly like it.  When ever I finish a painting, I think to myself that this thing in front of me didn't even exist until I created it!  There is not another one like it anywhere on this earth...that sort of blows me away!  Life can become so boring when everything is so cookie cutter, right off the assembly belt.  Yes...I am thankful for creations made by our own hearts and hands.

Enjoy the ride....

A dear friend sent this link to me this morning.  I watched it with tears welling up in my eyes.  I intend to watch it many more times and soak in the messages.  Wonderful words to live by for all of us.
Enjoy the ride...
