Soaring Spirits

Have you ever awakened in the morning with soaring spirits?  You literally bound out of bed ready to face the world, or you have something really special about to happen that day?

That excitement comes from your perspective at the time. Our human brain is limited and that does influence how we react to things around us. The hope is we learn to seek a wholeness when we are ill; to believe in abundance when our financial situation is tight; to work with the knowledge we have gained in our lifetime to be wise in our decisions.

Last few weeks I have been struggling with a confused state of mind. (My siblings would probably say I stay this way...) but usually I am very directed and assertive like my father and mother.  I am learning to sit back quietly and find that oneness with God. It is only from Him that I can reconnect and find that joy to have soaring spirits when I wake from the night.

Emails from friends have really been uplifting to me this week. I am seeing things differently as I pray and sit back and take in the abundance in my life and the infinite possibilities ahead. The depression I was in was fed by the hot hot weather and the dying trees around us and the pond losing so much water. Seeing our land suffering along with the wildlife and fish, and I can do nothing to help any of it, but pray and know the Lord will send the rain.

Today has been busy... I am blogging late again. Terry worked on some tile in the kitchen and will finish it up tomorrow. I painted another wolf pack as you see above for the Jackson Hole Gallery and am working on another 24 x 36 to replace the one they sold.  I even took a nap this afternoon and Ann Morgan came by to visit. I never nap... and it felt so good. It brought SMILES when Ann arrived. Terry and I enjoyed the visit.

God is good. Abundance surrounds us even in the heat.

As always, I love your honesty, Laurie. If you took a rare nap you know that something was out of sync. Your comments about dying nature have helped me understand some of my recent mood too. I hope for you that the rest of the week brings more joy and more clarity.

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...
