Quiet Moments

This was one of the first paintings I did that I felt comfortable sharing with others. I remember how proud I was of it and how people said I should make postcards of it which I did.  It is nice to go back and see things that I created in years past that made me feel good.  I have the original painting on my wall and a friend just mentioned how much she liked it which made me decide to share it again.

Sometimes we are so busy creating something new that we forget to take the time to celebrate those things that have already brought us joy.  As I move deeper into the holiday season, I am going to take time each day to reflect upon the simple things that in the past brought me happiness and laughter and joy.  I am sure they are the moments that spontaneously occurred without a lot of planning.  Watching out of the window for Santa Claus, deciding at the last minute to sing carols with neighbors, opening a drawer and finding the present that I had hidden months ago and couldn't find all come to mind. A ride in our pajamas to look at the twinkling lights in the neighbors windows or a hot cup of chocolate on a cold night are also special memories. 

 I think it is important during this very busy season to spend some quiet time each and every day. It helps us to create special memories as well as to remember what is truly important.  The gift of quiet is very special and one that I hope you will give to yourself each and every day.  

             When you share your talents and your dreams with the world, magic happens. Let the magic begin!

"Sometimes we are so busy creating something new that we forget to take the time to celebrate those things that have already brought us joy." I love this sentence:~)

It is so true. Perhaps this is why we have certain rituals in our lives, to remind of us joyful times. As the holiday's approach, I often think about my tree decorations and how most of them have some happy memory attached, especially since many were hand-made by my daughters. As I put them up, they make me smile:~)

what a lovely winter scene Ginny! I am so glad you made cards out of it. For the first time I have ordered postcards to send out for Christmas that are of a painting I began last year and just finished. With so much on my plate right now I knew I couldn't make each card individually as I have been doing for many years. I have a feeling I will be doing this more often. Yes, getting in some quiet time is so important.

Lovely painting Ginny. I agree with everything you mentioned in your post. This is the first year all our children are grown and live on their own, I look back when the kids were little and think why was I always rushing around. I wish I knew then what I know now. ha ha
Know I really sound like my mother. Enjoy the holidays...

Gorgeous, classy timeless painting, so full of heart! Thanks for sharing it. I see many artists sharing their best pieces, also reusing the images in different ways. I am now doing that too! My girls and I were just speaking of the importance of quiet a few weeks ago. How much we cherish it...one friend would hesitate to put the dishwasher on because she didn't want to hear any noise!! A wonderful reminder to everyone the importance of quiet! Too often some people fear it! Loved your memories too! I have several of those as well!

Hugs Giggles
