A Day to Create...

The gray clouds move swiftly across the sky, moving at a pace I have never witnessed before. The bare winter trees rustle and bend in the chilly wind. It is still in the morning hours and have yet to see the sun peek through. And as I write this the sun has just now made an appearance to let me know it had definately rose this morning and just as quickly as it shown itself, disappeared behind the clouds.

    Outside my windows, I witness moisture dripping off the eave of the house, surely a sign of some much needed raingutters but at the same time gladened by the fact that rain is present. Just a drop or two at the moment as I sit silently watching and waiting for the clouds to break free and pour rain upon the dry brown grass that lay beneath eagerly waits to have a drink.

     I anticipate rain and don't see rainy days as dismal but infact a natural sign of refreshing the earth and my soul. To me the smell of rain is enticing and welcomed in my little world. A day to find myself at my desk in my studio writing or dipping my paintbrush into small pots of paint and swirling the colors across the eagarly waiting paper that calls to me to make it come alive with color and imagery. And possibly a bit of glue here and there to small pieces of paper in which I've decorated with my spirits thoughts and words.

    Today, unaware of doing anything useful or creative, has suddenly become something well needed in a pool of blurry days that went so quickly that nothing was accomplished and before I knew it, it was nighttime and those days had come to an end. A well deserved time to utilize my lonely art supplies, who have been so neglegted and somewhat forgotten. Such patient friends I keep.

     A new year has come and waiting for me to do something with it and within my heart I know that there is something good, patiently waiting for me to discover!!

    So, on that note I am off to make new discoveries!!

Much love and all my best wishes,
