BeautifulHistoria

Starting a blog is exciting. To introduce my blog I will say that I am not up on a lot of the big things that happen around the world (I leave that and all the big news updates to my husband) but I do tend to be a bit more of a deep thinker about the simpler things in life. I've found that sometimes the most profound thoughts are often inspired by the simplest of things. Since this is a website for art - I can try to keep to the subject, however I have no guarantees. My life - as well as yours, I"m sure - has so many more aspects to it than just one. Take this morning for example: I was walking to the store and back to pick up an order of canvas's that arrived, and realized it had been too long since I had just taken a walk - looking around me reminded me of how beautiful this world is. So many people (myself included) are too busy trying to keep up with things, or even get ahead - that we forget to take it slow once in a while. When I took my walk I remembered why I even loved painting in the first place. For the last two months I had been painting almost non-stop, to the point I was exhausting myself and becoming burnt out. But what for? To meet a deadline? Of course that's what it was for - but that's not why I paint. I had become confused into thinking painting was all about meeting the deadline - but I will tell you now that I've had some clarity - painting has nothing to do with deadlines, and everything to do with loving what I'm doing and doing it for no other reason.

I hope this inspired you to take a break from the normal monotonous routine's you may have found yourself in - and remember the real reasons why you do what you do - whatever it is, I hope it's because you love it. And if you no longer love it, figure out why or find something you DO love. 

Here's to doing things for the right reasons.
