As I continue to think of life as a canvass, I find that each thought, word or action is a "brushstroke" of my life. Blessed with the freedom to express ourselves, each of us has choice. We can chose to waste our "brushstrokes of life" finding fault and "painting" our lives with negativity or we can chose to breathe love, truth and passion into our world, creating beauty with our positive energies.
We've all heard the saying, "One day at a Time"...we can interpret that as "One Beautiful Brushstroke at a Time" while we create our painting of life.
If you haven't told the people you love, "I love you" today, do so...it will create for you and them, vibrant colors and intense brushstrokes, as we continue "layering" our lives with rich textures of living.

The "Art" of Living
We are all artists and life is our canvas.
As a painter, I love to do large abstract and impressionistic paintings on canvas. As I stoke on the paint, expending energy as I in return receive energy in an unexplainable exchange, I usually decide within minutes if I will like or dislike the painting. As with life, we have choice. My choices as I paint are much as the choices in life...I can continue the painting and hope it evolves into what I want, or I can change it.
Everyday, we may not have the ability to start a "fresh new canvas", but we have the ability to change; we can paint over the parts, if not all, of what we don't like. The results of these changes, only adds texture and "layering" to our lives, just as I do with a painting. Much of my art is done with the purpose of adding texture and "layers".
How wonderful that each day gives us a chance to enhance our lives with layers of life, painted with emotions, actions and love.
