Today I painted this big pink thingbecause I feel so very very happy. Reaching out to people for my summer travel commissions has been absolutely delightful! (Note: I only have two left!) I’m very excited about each and every person who has signed up, and I know it will be great fun to work on these paintings and to get together with the collectors upon my return!
Also, my birthday is approaching and I’ve started a series of small celebrations with friends. Tonight my friend Rachel and I went to Le Colonial, a restaurant I’d been meaning to try for a while. It was absolutely beautiful! But the best thing of all is that I’m excited about where I’m at right now in my life. 
It’s good to be excited about where you are in your life journey, and I’m pleased you’re feeling happy. We are at very different stages of life – I just retired last week at 72, and I, too, am excited about where I am in the journey! Your creative medium is canvas and paint, mine is garden beds and plants. And, although I do fiddle with watercolors, I’m not very good at it…
