Hi Everyone:
When I saw this wonderful, carefree piece on Chris’ blog, I knew it would be something you would all enjoy seeing. She does some amazing art, including this piece....As you look at her work, it all tells a story. How delightful!
I love how this piece says, “Have a great day” because that is what I am wishing all of you. And the rainbow sky? I wish you rainbows too and the carefree feeling of being a child again....Wouldn’t it be great to have just ONE day like that? Why not make it today?
What a plan, yes?
I think it would be wonderful to wake up and make a decision to let things “roll off our backs,” not stress and pick at least just ONE thing to totally enjoy at some point in our day, whether it’s a cup of tea, a conversation with a friend, or a good book...
I’m ready to do it...I’m ready to set aside any worry or negativity and just let things “flow.” When something comes my way that I have to deal with, I’m handing it over to the Lord who watches over all of us....I’m going to use faith instead of might and joy instead of stress....
I invite you to join me.
And thank you Chris for giving us all this inspiration--you are a blessing!

Wow, this is stunning! So beautiful!!! And some great advice, too, Cindy! Thank you. We all need to practice this more! Worrying doesn't accomplish anything!

Well, I AM going to be a child again...just for today...tonight really. We are going to the fair. I will eat junk food, play games, look at the animals, and maybe even go on a couple rides (maybe not, though, as I DO struggle with motion sickness.)
ReplyDeleteSUCH a lovely...and needful...post.
Love,
Patti
Thank you Cindy for a great reminder to seek out joy each and every day! I tend to be a worry wort, so I really need to heed your advice! Gorgeous work by Chris! Love the colors. It makes me think of when I was little girl and loved nothing better than to be outdoors enjoying nature and the many pets we had :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely. Find joy in all that you do....Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kim
It is pretty. I am having a great day by the way! hugs♥olive
ReplyDeleteLove this piece. Thanks for sharing it with us. That is one of the hardest parts of being a parent,I think. Letting go. After playing musical refrigerators this weekend, (son is moving into his own home), I had lots of opportunities to practice letting it roll off! Sheesh! Love, CH.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and wonderful words from you! Enjoy your day Mx
ReplyDeleteHave you all been able to find your Inner Child today? I sure hope so! I ended up going on a scavenger hunt in search of "rusty" items for a special Hurricane Katrina project that I'm working on...My husband and I drove throughout the parish trying to find something to create art with...We stopped by to see some friends--and they had it at their home--YAY!
ReplyDeleteGood day!!!!
Hmm, if there were fireflies, I'd try to catch them just like in Chris' piece!
Hi Cindy...this was really neat and encouraging...work is starting to get challenging and I need to remember these wise words :) :) Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
