Carpe Diem... rise & shine. Kermit & card.
My reindeer painting in my sketch book demanded a card.. or two, all they need today is some glitter 'snow' and then ready to go.. on the shelf with ALL the other Christmas cards. I was reading about the backlog of packages and mail building up at still striking Canada Post and am considering -even if the strike ends I might hold off a bit. Some are being hand delivered ;) Kermit is j my lovely assistant for this day - to add a bit of fun, inspired by another artist who also has his kermit hanging out in the studio and it made me smile so... here you go!
It's already been an eventful morning. Actually, it was a bit of a difficult start, some days my TN starts before I do, not even out of bed today and I had an "doozie" attack and both eyes started to water as if crying but I was not.. it was just fast and furious zapping and pain. What do I do? Stay in bed? Not an option with my girls, and that's good. So Carpe Diem!
What's the alternative? Sit around and cry? Feel sorry for myself - no. I have paint, canvas, a studio & God has made it so I can stay home and paint with a view I've prayed for, all my life. Up and at it!
I did cry a bit and told God: O.k., I'll trust you again today but please give me the strength I need.
Poppy has had a loose tooth for a bit, a front lover big fang. I just said to Storm "We need to pull Poppys tooth today, it's causing her pain." I can tell, she wasn't eating her cookies with her usual enthusiasm, he looked at me, got his coffee and left - lol (too early perhaps) but I knew he'd help me later.. I turned around to talk to Poppy about her tooth and there it was in front of her on the pillow! Lol I could hardly believe it. Amen! I was stressed about holding her down and yanking it out - she won't understand 'why mom & Storm are doing this'.. luckily God helped and the tooth is out. Yay!
That or Poppy heard us and thought: Hello No! I'm not letting these amateur dentists at me. hahaha
That's how we have to start every day: O.k. God, I will trust you, again. Always.
I don't care if you believe in God... I KNOW, God believes in You... A friend on social media I've known for years has had some health issues and I pray for her and think 'Holy Cow..' she has had a difficult time these past years, brain surgery, a wild infection (caused by a hospital mistake) that made her almost lose her arm- it was literally disintegrating and now she needs heart surgery, anyhow I noticed her post have become negative (understandably) but sent her a message and pointed out: You are asking the Universe for failure. I pointed out what she said, I did not know her faith and said: I don't care if you don't believe in God, God believes in you.. have faith, pray for strength. I was actually concerned she might be offended , God can be a sensitive subject, especially when you feel you are already in Hell. I know, been there - done that, a few times this lifetime. She sent back a message - Thanking me for reminding her to be positive and to remember God is with her, every step on the way. She does believe in God but sometimes.. we do forget. God told me to message her.
Maybe that's all some need is a reminder, like me today.. all you have to do is ask. I have faith God will provide what I need: Give us this day' our daily bread. Help me today... tomorrow, I'll ask again.
Time to paint more cards.. I also painted a Grinch - I'll save him until the weekend.
What are you telling the Universe? To all reading this now:
I don't care if you don't believe in God, I know - God believes in you.
Have a creative day - Carpe Diem!
