This past week we have been studying value in my drawing class. The range of dark to light in a piece of art. The above piece is my homework that I just completed today, we had to use India Ink and cross hatch a still life, while keeping the elements of value in mind. Concentrating on value in art led me to think about the things I value in my life. I felt like it was good for me to be focusing on the positives in my life since I have been feeling down lately about my uncertain future. Without further ado...I Value...
~my unfailing relationship with God
~the support I receive from my family
~the opportunity to get a college education {even if I don't know what I want to do yet}
~being in love with a wonderful man
~time well spent at home
~being able to spend more time with my best friend
~fall weekends spent picking apples and baking pies {photos yet to come}
~my growing family {a new sister-in-law and a new niece or nephew due next month}
~living at home
~the many ways I can keep in touch with those far away {phone, skype, facebook}
~home cooked meals
~spontaneous road trips
~a nice bubble bath
~a strong brew of coffee in the morning
It feels good to focus on the blessings in my life. Oftentimes I get caught up in everything that isn't going right that I forget to be thankful for all of the great things that I do have. When I slow down, take a deep breath and take a step back to look at my life, I realize that my problems aren't as bad as I have made them out to be. God will never give me more than I can handle and He has given me countless blessings to be thankful for.
