A pat on my back

Each day is a brand new day... some days are like most days. But today is that OTHER day. Even though it started off as a normal day... I put together a perfectly nice outfit for work and felt good about my new yellow shoes. It was just the pop of color I needed in my routine day.

I got off work early and decided to do some chores. I was running low on windshield fluid.. so I bought a bottle from Walmart. Today is the first time I popped the hood of my car. Yeah yeah ... I've done more complicated things like changing the car battery which is in the trunk..show off. So I located the windshield sign and the job was wonderfully done. <standing ovation please>

I even bought myself an awesome GE toaster. It is no ordinary toaster... you can decide the level of browness in your bread. Now that's beautiful.. I'm living life in color!

I rewarded myself by going to Panera Bread. I picked the most expensive item that sounded good as well. Guess what..it tasted better. Sometimes the expensive things in life are better..whoever thought otherwise. 

This is me, not only getting excited about my little accomplishment's but patting myself on the back once in a while. It's important to do that sometimes... you need to give yourself the credit you deserve. 

Colorful and Proud,

Me

P.S. Checked off eating by myself in a restaurant without feeling awkward at all.

Art is What?

Filled with smoothie in my fancy wine glass and a feeling of accomplishment of preparing a great salad..I'm writing away. The art of making a great salad lies in it's ingredients. But the best part of about it is.. that it gives you the liberty to choose what you love eating.
It's kinda like abstract art .. something I see myself doing a lot these days. You mix together things that YOU think go well .. and continue until you think it's time to stop. It's a feeling I can't describe... but if I have to .. it's freedom. The same pleasure is not found in paintings of scenic beauty or cooking by the book.
Art is everywhere... it's in everything you do..because it's the way YOU do it. My life's become poetic .. I'm thinking in colors and drowning in art. I feel beyond my physical self yet subjected to utter self dependence. In famous words... I am a part of all that I've met. The more I look within..the more I feel stronger. With me..it was never about conquering the world. It was always about conquering myself to be a better human.
Art is what ? Art is Y.O.U.

I am an Artist, That's what I am.
