"This painting was created when we lived in Justin, Texas about 20 years ago. I remember it was either 24 x 30 or 30 x 40 inches. It sold immediately because of the BLUES! It was a style I focused on for about six months and fell into knifing things about this time. Should I do more like this one?"
BLUE DAYS ... BLUE DAZE?
It has been cold, cloudy and bordering on bitter in the early mornings. I found myself today cleaning up the studio and preparing to prepare. I am going to kick off early tonight and start working on our Christmas cards.
The past three nights Terry and I have worked until nine at night, showered and collapsed in bed. Today we both had the 'blues'... blue days? or blue daze?
He fought a headache all day today, but continued on his current push, to add cabinets to our master bath "Potty" room. We decided to paint the room first and that has taken time. I am so lucky to be married to this sweet man. We met when I was 11 and he was 13. The last two weeks he redid the guest bath.. now the potty room for us... next the bath area and countertops in our master bath. Excitement grows!!
Meanwhile, I pushed through cleaning the studio and doing book work...with more to finish tomorrow. Do you ever get caught up in all the details, new ink in the printer, new stamps for cards, sorting files, photos and trash, or cleaning windows? By the time I made lunch today after running an errand with Morgan, our son next door... I spent an hour preparing lunch ... ate lunch and spent 30 minutes cleaning up my kitchen mess! It still truly was a blessed day. I worked on keeping things focused on the moment and not getting caught in overwhelming thoughts. I started this blog at 4:30 and it is an hour later!
*** Morgan did bring a surprise to the mix... he found a special shop just a few blocks away where the main focus is a clothing factory but they have a small store there with forty percent off. He bought me some really nice casual things including a fuzzy black coat! I may have to take pictures! He bought Pop some nice slacks and a great shirt that matched them. Was really special and EASY and NOT crowded at all!
Days... Daze... they are soaring by quicker every single day. Is your life like this? Focus on what your heart hears from the Holy Spirit. It is not always what is in your heart for plans, but what is with the Holy Spirit and the direction HE wants you to go. Stop and wait... listen.
May this first week of Advent bring you the hope and may you have an open heart to receive it.
One of the verses I focused on was:
“For this reason,” Paul writes, “… I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.” (Ephesians 1:15-19)
