When I drew this Zentangle I saw a shoe within the strings...So here are my thoughts this morning on my appreciation for MY SHOES!

I have traveled 60 years in my shoes...and although there have been some hills and caves I would not trade my shoes for another pair. I have learned a great deal about myself because of the different paths I have gone down in my shoes...I have learned lessons...and have taken detours that took me nowhere...

The shoes are worn in places bringing me a comfort of familiarity...they still pinch my toes when I am traveling unknown paths bringing an uncomfortable feeling, which I know will pass as long as I continue to break them in.

These are my shoes...no one else can travel in them but me. They have served me well over the years and although at the moment they feel a bit new on this road...I will continue to travel...I will continue to move forward slowly and carefully...I will continue to appreciate each and every step they provide me.

LIFE IS GOOD!

My light...

Today, I am enjoying my light...the light from within that allows me to see myself clearer...I am taking responsibility for the choices I have made...not beating myself up for not doing some of the things on my list in order to do the things that are most important to my heart instead at this time...I am enjoying the quiet of this morning...having my coffee and picking up paint brushes and pens brings a lightness to me and makes me smile...Today, I feel at ease having completed my intention of once again coming into the studio early...I see that I am moving forward with my light and truth...I see that my heart is full of happiness..

Today, my light surrounds me...I am very aware that:
LIFE IS GOOD!
