Every morning for the last little while I have been writing my morning pages.  It was a suggestion from the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, I still recommend it.  I write 2-3 pages by hand of anything that is in my mind, it is a great journal, meditation, and therapist.  This morning as I was doing it, I looked up to this happy painting, and it allowed me to pause...

I remember being in Wenatchee with a friend taking a watercolor workshop.  I remember carefully working in each petal and adding layer upon layer to enhance the detail.  I remember being so focused that 1 petal was all I could see.  I remember being lost in the color and detail that time just flew by.  Happy, happy memories.

Paraphrasing something I read MY LIVE ISN'T PERFECT, BUT IT IS FULL OF PERFECT MOMENTS.
