Starting the New Year with New Possibilities
January 2nd, 2012 § 2 Comments
During the 2011 holiday shopping season, I stumbled upon a painting that I was certain I needed. Immediately. For a Little Dutch Girl, the idea of spending money on a painting was frightening and somewhat foolhardy. I did not buy that painting. Instead, I spent the rest of my holiday shopping thinking about it every day. I thought about how it made me feel, how it changed my thoughts, and how it made me want to try things new, even scary things.
Possibilities
I bought the painting immediately after the holidays, reasoning that if I’d thought about it that long and actually had the money to buy it, then maybe there was something there I needed to explore. The painting itself is not a shining example in the art world. It’s raw in places. But that’s much like me and my life. This says to me “Be happy. Create. Make mistakes. Laugh. Enjoy.” That’s my plan for the new year.
Happy Holidays, everyone.
It is lovely. It speaks of new life, possibilities and hope. I wish all of that for all of us. (((((HUGS)))
Absolutely. Every time I look at this I want to create things. I wish that for everyone. *hugs back*
