Today I will Choose Joy

 In MATS Bootcamp our assignment was to make wall art

on a piece of roundish wood.

 So I first sealed the part of the wood that I planned to paint on,

then sketched the general idea.

 Painting commenced and I found it rather hard to get 

the acrylics to flow and blend.  

Fought it the entire time....

But I persevered and eventually these happy souls appeared-

A bear delivers flowers to a crow in need of encouragement,

and a young girl and corgi welcome the two to their cozy home

for tea and scones by the fire.

I wish I could join them.

 Words of affirmation were added

 to remind me that I have a choice everyday 

to love and experience joy,

or squelch it.

It really is that simple.

so today I will choose Joy!

This oval 11x14" rough edged piece of wood 

would love to adorn your wall 

and remind you to 

give flowers

 or words of affirmation

or whatever is needed

 to those around you each and every day.
