Day 224…it takes less muscles to smile and it is contagious!

8×10 oils
The past few days I have spent some time thinking about how we are always in such a hurry. Furiously killing ourselves to reach this goal or the other. We live a microwaved lifestyle. If it can not be “cooked” in 60 seconds or less forget it! We want instant gratification, spectacular exhibitions of lights and beeps or, we are off and running toward the next base. Trying to find that something we are missing, what exactly it is do we even know? Why did we let this super speed, super sized rhythm knock us so far into left field that we traded in our most valuable assets-ourselves.
Today, tomorrow, or maybe the day after I hope you remember to find pleasure in any one moment. I hope you smile just because you choose to, cry if you need to, and above all be kind simply because…
Peace,

Valerie
