Growth…

A new year brings new chances. New opportunities. New growth.

I try to grow every day. Even though some days I am successful more so than others, growth is what keeps me going. Keeps me striving. Growth is happening in so many areas of my life. My oldest son’s family is about to grow with the arrival of my sweet, new granddaughter. My youngest son is growing in his Tennis passion and getting better and better. My next Bob Ross painting class is scheduled for March…where I hope to grow my own abilities a little more. There is growth all around me and in all the best ways. My life is not perfect. In fact, it is far from perfect. There are dark areas, construction areas, and renovation zones. But as long as I can improve and focus on all of the wonderful, good things every day, I can grow the strength and resilience to address that which I consider counter productive to my life.

My life is not perfect. My paintings are not perfect. But as long as I can embrace growth and change, I can strive to improve. Never stop growing.
