ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

48 DAYS UNTIL SPRING!
Sunrise:7:41 am
Sunset: 5:44 pm
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
January 31st. is Inspire Your Heart With Art Day. Today we celebrate art and the effect it can have on your heart. Art is valued and appreciated for all sorts of reasons.
Whether it's a trip to a local museum, watching or acting in a play at the local theater or tapping your toes to a rockin' concert, today celebrates creativity with an artistic flair as well as the positive effect it has on our lives. The key to getting the most out of this day is being selective about your art, and choosing something that will inspire your heart rather than expire it.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Scott Adams
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
Pablo Picasso
Art comes in many forms. I have two sons that are artists. My youngest son designed the logo I use every day and is a graphic designer. The other is a caricature artist and is also an art teacher.
I love the many aspects of art and am also a wanna be artist. I love painting things to give as gifts. With Valentines day just about 2 weeks ago. I’m going to try to celebrate this day by making some valentines.
I’ll be painting blocks of wood, but it’s a good time for any of us to get out the paper scissors, and glue and make some Valentines.
I have lots of handmade art here at my house. The grand babes supply a lot of it but I’ve purchased some too. I’ve tried to decorate my home with something that inspires me.
Hope you all are inspired with some art today and have fantastic Friday!
Let me ask you something, what is not art?

COUNTING MY GIFTS
As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.
John Lubbock
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for this past year and have now reached my 1000 gifts. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1364. for DS#5 and DS#6, artists in their own right
1365. for inspirational art on my walls
1366. for grand babes that delight me with their art
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.
John Ruskin
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

Well said, MA... I have mostly thrift store art here, but each picture means something to me, and I love them all.
Two sons who are artists - they must have inherited their gift from you.
Great talent in your family, Ma! I bet you will have fun creating the valentines you plan to make this year!
