“Once I spoke the language of the flowers, Once I understood each word the caterpillar said, Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed. Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets, And joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow, Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .How did it go?  How did it go?” ― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends: The Poems and Drawings of Shel Silverstein

Shei Silverstein's book was a big hit with my children growing up.  We spent many hours in the book throughout the younger days in their lives. Sometimes I look book and wonder where time has gone... it is flying by.   The reality of time is that it passes rather quickly the older you become.

When you feel like you are running out of time, you might try taking a reality check and trying a simple observation:  There is the same amount of minutes and hours in each day.  How are you using your time today that was so different from yesterday.   It is not necessary to feel out of control, but I think social media has captured so much of our time we are forgetting to live and enjoy the days God has gifted to us. 

Try centering yourself and relaxing. FORGET about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and your cell phone. (yes I realized 70 percent of my followers read this on their cell phone) Try and cut back on social media and you will gain back huge amounts of time.  Social Media is a distraction to your life and to your relationships.

"Be the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing." Luke 10:41-42

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
