Counting my blessings

Gratitude and Balance

Today is Thanksgiving and I am contemplating how my life has become simple and peaceful. Here is a beautiful quote from John-Roger about balance:

As you become more balanced in both your inner and outer expression, your life will become more balanced

.

The physical level becomes balanced as you find yourself eating better foods and monitoring how much you put in your mouth.

Your emotions become balanced as you learn to love yourself and take care of yourself first and to do these things that bring you joy and  fulfilment.

The mental area becomes balanced as you learn to think positive thoughts and to communicate more clearly with yourself and others.

Have a joy-filled Thanksgiving!

A Garden in Spello, Italy

When I painted in the lovely garden, it was very early in the morning. It was a hot day but there was a dry breeze. The air made it easier adding layer upon layer of transparent watercolor. The 300 pound Arches paper was saturated with colors. I love the results of this landscape. Spello, Italy was the location.
