My new Years Resolution is not to have one but to make everyday count. We should have already been making everyday a special day and striving tomake our lives rich. Of course everything in my blog is my opinion. Like assholes everyone has one therefore everyone has an opinion. I might offend some and start arguments that you find it necessary to send me wonderful emails instesad of posting your thoughts here for everyone to enjoy. I love those little love notes. I really do. like my art, I show for everyone to see whether or not it is liked or appreciated at the very least it is being looked at and an opinion is being formed. there is never a bad or good comment, a bad or good opinion, our thoughts are unique and we are all respectful and mindful that we are all different. Getting back to the premise for this post, as I tend to blab.....
To make today count is very easy. If you did not have a good year in your OPINION...then let me enlighten you on my take. I spent many years mulling over all the bad things I have done in my life putting myself down for some of the choices I made. I started to regret the relationships I could have strengthened and some I could have started. I spent a lot of time feeling sorry for myself for situations I caused others pain and discomfort. Whether it was intentional or by a bad decision. What I realized is that everything we do in our life is connected and good always comes out in the final say. For me anyway I saw good in all the situations I re-visited to bring closure. Through it all I raised wonderful children because I sacrificed my selfish needs. they now thank me. they raise their children keeping all my lessons in mind. I always tried to show affection and love to all my friends and relatives when I could and even when certain people criticized me or rudely poked fun at the fact I was a touchy feely person...those same people have crossed paths with me later and came to me with open arms happy to greet me. I learned not to percieve the world through negative eyes. See the world as a beautiful experience and appreciate everything and everyone around me. I was able to love myself first and then it carried out to others.
We all have eyes on us, whether it is family or friends. We all have someone that looks up to us for insiration. We have to be mindful of this. We are all connected in some way. We affect each others existence. I almost closed this blog for my perception that no one was getting anything from it. I had this idea in my head that it was a waste of time and my time was better served doing something else like watching tv or internet surfing. I did not think people were reading this anymore. I recieved a comment from someone that was heart warming and it made me re-think the selfish thought I had. believe me when I say we all have eyes on us. We are all connected. We all have so much to live for. Our joy is robbed of us by others who have this problem. They have this negative outlook because everyone gives up on them. negative people are just great individuals trapped in a lie. We have to at least try and reach out to them by being a beacon of light for them. sounds corny. We donot have to do anything directly for them but just them seeing us feel joy and be kind helps them. I rambled again. If you regularly read my blof then youll understand. If not, it is what it is.
Welcome I hope you enjoy the posts and follow on a journey sharing Art and ideas. Please do not be shy and interact with me. I am keeping it simple. We are talking ART and how it relates to our wonderful lives. Self-taught and professionals are all welcome.

In LALA Land
This has been a wonderful year for me. I have created for myself a wonderful experience. I am thankful to our God in the heavens for giving me this great gift be able to create my life out of the promise he gave us through his son. It is a wonderful premise. We think it. Feel it. Believe it. See it. Be thankful we have already recieved it. And then we shall recieve it. If we do not have full faith in that which he has promised how do we expect to prosper in any capacity. If we do not acknowledge his presence in our lives and the son he sent down to let us know all the secrets, how do we expect to expect anything at all.
there are people that say we are destined for what we are destined for. I say we are destined for what we ask for. If we set in motion the negative aspect of our lives then we are not living by faith. We are already giving up hope. If we live by faith then we already live believing we have recieved what was primised to us. What was promised to us was his almighty power. that power is within us. It is a carbon copy of our creator. I am not going to sit here and quote scripture. I am not going to give you a scientific analysis of our being and what we are here for or as we say "our purpose" I will say give it a try. Believe with all your heart. Be happy and joyful with all your might. Feel his love in you and have no doubt you already have recieved. I guarantee you will prosper. Prosper in happiness out weighs any monetary goals you will set for yourself. If you are happy completely you can create for yourself anything you desire. It will be attracted to you. So. Quit your bitching and moaning and get to work creating a wonderful life for yourself.

Creating Our Life Is an Art
I just celebrated my 45th birthday yesterday. This whole weekend was amazing. I am in love with my life that I created. It was given to me but the journey I created. We create our journey every day. We set forth the steps we take far in advance before we step forward. I do not know how it works out but I know it works. I ask for it, it comes my way. I complain and give my attention to something I do not want and it comes my way. I give attention to anything and focus too much it comes my way. Simple. Yes it is that simple. There are a few things I left out that are very important but the basics are we are what we think.
Lately I have been feeling in control of my life like never before. I know the source of all my good and challenging experiences. I can see where certain directions my life takes had its beginnings, Where I could have had a different thought process. Every day I am thankful for the experiences and the people I meet and are a part of my life. This is a wonderful journey that is going very fast. Now that I know what I know about life I often wonder what it would have been like to have this knowledge as a young man. How different my journey could have been. When I start to think of that alternate route I would have taken then I am reminded of my beautiful children and the wonderful people I have encountered along the way and the amazing friendships.
I often think of my life as a canvas waiting to have the imagery put on it. What vibrant colors I will choose. What textures I can conjure up and the arrangement of color and subject. There are so many variables to consider when painting a masterpiece. Who will see it? Who will buy it? What will everyone think of it? Do I care what people think? I should not as long as I enjoy it. Life is that way. Sometimes we make decisions based on what we worry about what others will think. Sometimes we arrange our lives a certain way where it does not please us but it will serve another’s purpose. We make ourselves available for others. We sacrifice our happiness for others comfort.
When it comes to our children we always make sacrifices. What I did not realize is that I could have played both sides of the token. I could have been providing for them working the same hours and yet working somewhere I love rather did not like just to make ends meet. Make sense? And if you come right down to the basics it is not about what you are doing it is how you perceive your life experiences that gauge your happiness. We need to be happy regardless. We need to love our lives in any and all situations. We need to feel and see the joy. Creating our life is a lost art only a few have the ability to perform.

I create for myself an environment where I can be happy everyday. Not to say that there will not be challenges in my world. We live in a world that is ever evolving. I live my days to be thankful and expect people in my life that I can inspire. wonderful appreciative people who are positive even in the most dire of circumstances. We are so blessed to have a breathe. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to be alive in this beautiful globe of humanity. there are so many opportunities that we come across. Opportunities to love and be loved. We look for joy in our lives. When we feel joy it feels right. We are creative masters of our lives. Go and create a masterful masterpiece of a life.
