When I was a little girl (seems like yesterday), I was sitting at this restaurant right on the water in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and my Mother told my family that I was the only one that could have a lobster! I can still see myself sitting there in total Bliss! I must have done something really special to deserve that lobster! And, as my three sisters sat there, I ate my lobster in joy! I wish I could remember why I deserved the “royal treatment”!!!
And, I truly must have done something right to deserve to be an Artist! When I think of how blessed I am, I stop and thank God and the universe for the privilege of being an Artist.
Every day I do a random act of kindness -- it could be giving money to a homeless person, calling someone who is lonely, helping a friend, listening to a friend, or just doing something for someone I have never met.
As artists -- Joy is the gift we give this world. How lucky we are!

Such a sweet remembrance! I like the new updated blog - great painting too.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane!... Thank "You"... for your kind comments at my site!
ReplyDeleteWe do share many things in common: optimism and joy being high on the totem pole!
Your very lovely... colourful and sensitive renderings are indeed joy-filled!
Look forward to many more visits... sharings and "conversations"!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
