Friday's Special Moment of Gratitude

3/21/2013

Each day is special.  Each day gives a chance to begin over, to create something new, to celebrate who we are. Once we realize that, life becomes filled with endless possibilities. 

I had just finished writing the last three sentences when my cell phone decided to give me an opportunity to put into practice what I had just written.  I hate it when things break and all of a sudden for no reason my phone wouldn't work.  So I thought ok, a new possibility to see what I can do.  Can I fix it by myself?  Can I stay calm which is something I can do for any other type of problem but not when the problem is the least bit technical.  Can I see this as an opportunity for growth? 

I tried to make the phone work.  Nothing I did made a difference.  So I stayed calm and drove to the Verizon store expecting a long line and an even longer wait to see someone.  Luckily, it did not take long and of course the girl ( who knew what she was doing) had it working in a second. 

So I got a chance to see myself in a different light.  I did try to fix the phone.  I did not get irritated with the phone or myself when I couldn't fix it.  I learned that even though I hate it when I don't know what I am doing; it is not that hard to ask for  help.  Sound simple?  It was.  But it is not something I always do. So as silly as it sounds, this week I am grateful that my phone broke and in the process of getting it fixed I learned a few new things about myself.

Is there something that made you smile, grow, or that you are grateful for experiencing this week? 

I hope that you will take a minute to visit the artists at Paint Party Friday and Creative Every Day.  It is a wonderful way to begin the weekend.

Those blue and green tones are so spring-like, they make me smile.
I am not technical at all but I have been trying to make some buisness cards on photoshop. I feel like I am spending hours on something with very little to show for it as yet but like you I didnt get fustrated and I am learning to be persistant, patient and to stay positive! (These things are sent to try us!)

Really like your wide open natural space. You could really breathe in nature there.

Love the cool tones in this piece. Very calming. I tried a watercolor piece from a show on Create that looked simple but was extremely tricky. I redid it about 6 times and still hated the end result but I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't give up after the first go at it and learned a little with every new piece I tried. Even though they all ended up in the trash, I didn't get discouraged and just tried a different watercolor that I absolutely love. Happy PPF!

Lovely painting. I had a similar experience only it was trying to fix something on my sister's blog. It took 2 days of trying and I finally made it.

First off I loved opening your blog to be greeted by this luscious green...just beautiful!! A few years ago my word was ask....I had to learn that.... if you ask, the answer can be yes,......if you never ask the answer is ALWAYS no.... It's better to ask... it gives you a bigger opportunity for success!!

I just got a smart phone...thankfully it's smarter than me. Funny how I have learned to ask with my eyes!! lol I am always learning and growing... the older I get the less I know!!

Hugs Giggles

you are definitely practicing non-attachment and nirodha -- how beautiful to entertain the possibility of seeing things in a different light. Beautifully calm painting - reflecting your calm mind. Happy PPF on Saturday!

Visiting is exactly what I´m doing today. I´ve been on gogogogo mode until I fell ill (first time in years). Time to take a gentle break. :)

I really love the colours in your painting. such softness! The is nothing more satisfying than attempting to do something, you weren't sure if you could do. And even if you couldn't fix it, you tried which is awesome!

A belated Happy PPF!
