Friday's Special Moment of Gratitude

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I hope that no matter what you are doing it is special.  Today was a beautiful day.  The sun was shining and the air was crisp and cold.  When I stood outside and looked up at the sky it was bright blue with not even one cloud.  It made start to think about spring and how I wanted to create a new space in the backyard to draw and read and to just be quiet each day.  I recreate this space each year and it is always something that I look forward to doing.  I keep it small and easy to maintain.  That way I can enjoy it more.  For some gardening is the fun part, for me it is looking at the results.  So I am a person who loves plants in pots.  

If you have been here before, you know that it is my practice to reflect on what I am grateful for at the end of each week.  Today it is something that I have no control over. Today I am very grateful for the blue skies that I was able to enjoy this morning.  Looking at the deep blue sky was like visiting a lovely gallery that had been created just for me. What was really awesome was that I didn't even  have to get dressed up to go.  They allowed me in - pajamas and all.  Learning to take a moment each day to appreciate something in nature and then combining that with a deep breath or two is something else that I am grateful for this week.  I hope that you too will take a moment today to look up at the sky and take a deep breath.  It is truly a Valentine's gift you can give yourself all year long.

Please take a moment to visit all of the wonderful artists at Paint Party Friday and Creative Everyday.  It is wonderful way to start the weekend.

The misty quality of this one is really lovely... and that bush/shrub in the bottom corner anchors the whole thing beautifully... Must say that I enjoy your gratitude posts enormously they are a lovely reminder on a Friday to stop and take stock...xx

Such a happy painting -- the light and colors are so lovely! I look forward to seeing what you create in your backyard once Spring has arrived there. Spring has sprung here, and all the trees are in bloom. I took a gratitude walk to enjoy it all. Have a wonderful weekend!

what a beautiful post and a gorgeous painting - you've really captured a still misty morning - really lovely. Today, I'm grateful that I got to witness a cat giving birth to three beautiful little kittens at the re-homing shelter I volunteer at. Nature is truly amazing.

Beautiful painting! Your post is perfect for today. I have a rare day off, and the fog is lifting to blue skies. It is delightful to be sitting in my jammies with my cup of tea enjoying it. Happy PPF!

What a beautiful painting, so soft and calm. I still have to find my quiet spot in the garden, but then the garden is still in the making. I'm one who loves gardening, but I also love to enjoy it, sit back, listen to the birds and look at the beauty of it all.
I look up at the sky every day. I love the sky, no matter whether it is blue or gray - or, even better, orange and red like in the morning or evening. I most enjoy when birds fly through my picture - they make it so happy.

This has such a dreamy quality to it. Stunning but soft colors make me want to look at for long moments -- I can see the meditative quality you brought to it. Thanks for sharing.
