It's snowing - Yay & Nay... It's always beautiful.. I'm ready for it to melt. It amazes me how most people don't have or have ha hardly any snow - I've been looking at it since November. There is a new painting on the easel - it was spur of the moment because I wanted to paint something fun and with a flat' brush, I like the look it provides, had to be caught up with tiny details using a flat brush. The subject is fun & it's a message for me - you don't see the message yet.
After pondering why do we do what we know is not always beneficial for us - like drinking alcohol or eating eating a whole bag of Cheezies in one sitting. I can't have these in the house - I hear them crunching from the treat drawer'. I know if I was to eat them as often as I think of them - I would get fat. How often is too often? Once a day - drinking alcohol makes you an alcoholic, technically. I don't plan on eating a bag a day - or even week but when I do get a bag, I'm going to enjoy them, guilt free. God wants us to enjoy life, drink the wine and eat the fat - in moderation. Not daily.
Show yourself some love& enjoy the little things... have treats from time to time, treats that won't kill you albeit everything can potentially kill you - if you over indulge. When I paint I forget to eat so I have a bowl of snacks - walnuts, dates, cranberries, juice & sometimes cheezies on my desk for nibbling, I don't like being distracted by anything.
This morning I learned about Acetate clothing, it looks and feels like satin/silk but it's made from several materials. I found (in my closet) a jacket my parents bought me when 16 - guess what, it's back in style. lol It's 100% acetate I looked it up to make sure my arm won't fall of if I wear it. It looks brand new, it feels so luxurious, I have fond memories of wearing it over 45 years ago. I told Storm I'm wearing it to church and he said "not with me". lol Made in the USA , not China... and of course - it's inspired from Disney & Fantasia! I can't wait for warmer weather - I'm wearing it. It would be perfect for valentines day - it's reversible too - from purple to red in a heartbeat. Do you have something you love, kept in the closet a few decades? Time to break them out, dust them off and enjoy they all over again! I think I'll watch Fantasia as well, it inspires without fail every time, my mind can hardly comprehend all the creativity that went into that film.
Enjoy - you know what they say: Every thing old is new again!
