Wishing You a Great Day!



Guest Artist: Chris

http://myartyattempts.blogspot.com/

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!

  5. 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.)

    SUCH a lovely...and needful...post.

    Love,
    Patti

  6. 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!

  9. Love 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.

  11. Have 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!
    Good day!!!!

    Hmm, if there were fireflies, I'd try to catch them just like in Chris' piece!
