What a Wonderful World

Welcome all

I could not find the artist for this super painting.

Do you know?

I see trees of green,

red roses too,

I see them bloom,

for me and you

And I think to myself

what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue

and clouds of white

The bright blessed day,

the dark sacred night

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow

so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces

of people going by.

I see friends shaking hands

saying how do you do?

They’re really saying

I love you.

I hear babies crying

I watch them grow

They’ll learn much more

than I’ll ever know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful world.

To preserve continuity, I have listed photo credits here.
Unfortunately the file where I had saved them all
has fallen in to the abyss of The Unknown.
After several hours of searching, here are the few I can credit.

Rose in hand: Art.com
Black outline earth & hand: Amaya’s Realm, Pinterest 

Do you know of any photos I can give proper credit to?
Please let me know!
I will try to save credits more carefully from now on.
Sorry.
Sincerely.

What a beautiful day today has been!

Sitting in the sun with a light breeze,
chatting with friends
and petting a dog head...
...makes me very happy!

What makes you happy?

Beading also makes me happy.
There’s something very addictive about running 
my hand through a pile of beads...
...picking out the beads I will use
in my next project.

What projects are you working on?

To relax, have a little laugh and unwind...
...I watch (mostly Korean) dramadys.
What is a dramady?
It is a combination drama + comedy!
Perhaps it is written ‘dramedy’ instead?

This Korean ‘dramedy’ was a fun one!

What do you do to relax,
laugh a little and unwind?

There are so many things that I enjoy:

Drawing Zentangles,
Writing a blog,
Painting with watercolors or acrylics,
Cutting out paper,
Making paper collages from junk mail,
Paper dolls,
My dog Riva,
Creating cards and card backgrounds,
Baking (especially muffins!),
Playing piano,
Jigsaw puzzles,
Watching Korean dramedies,
Fairies and Mermaids,
Vintage art,
Vintage fashions...

Oh the list goes on and on!

Why not make a list of things you love to do
Or that make you feel happy
and place it on your bathroom mirror?

Every morning choose at least one item 
and do it!

A paper cutting I finished a long time ago,
and then I played with my photo apps!

My wish for you is that you find some time
to enjoy life...every day.

Truth, usually experienced before 10am or coffee-

“When squeezing a bottle of glue or ink, or?

it is always a very good idea 

to take the lid off first.”

Welcome 2020

Welcome, 2020!

My hope and wish 

is that our world will be more in harmony;

respecting each other with compassion,

patience and tolerance.

I hope and wish

we will all learn to care for the animals 

on this mutual home, earth;

and that we understand more fully

that ALL life is precious.

Amen

I found this meme on Pinterest with no credits attached.

Hopefully Tim McGraw did say this.
You never know with memes.
Either way, it something we should all keep in our hearts.

We cannot see into the hearts of others,
But we CAN see their actions,
and hear their words.
❤️
For me, I also form opinions about people
after I see them interact with animals, or talk about them.
Yes, even birds, butterflies and bees!
(not so keen about spiders, snakes and such!)

I don’t want to appear ‘preachy’.
Just sharing a few of my convictions with you,
and hopefully
encourage you to think!
For yourself!
Not just follow the crowd,
Or
let someone else do your thinking for you!

Found on Pinterest!

I like that!
‘You are NOT your mistakes!’

I would add:
It’s not carved in stone, you know?
😘

On those notes I think I will close for today.

Drop me a note!
Tell me about your dreams for 2020.
Any big plans for change?
What about those little plans?

I LOVE to hear from my readers.

Truth (usually experienced before am coffee)

It is not advisable to go out on your front porch
until you have looked to see if you are still
wearing pajamas.
The neighbors don’t like.
The UPS driver doesn’t like it.
The FedEx driver doesn’t like it either.
And your kid is really embarrassed...
