THE BEST MOMENTS ARE YET TO COME....
Do you sometimes feel like that ? That your best is yet to come.
It was Zig Ziglar who said "Always remember that your present situation is not the final destination. The best is yet to come".
There are others :
1. “Come grow old with me, for the best is yet to come!” — Robert Frost
2. “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” — C. S. Lewis
3. “People always live badly today; they only live well tomorrow.” —Marsilio Ficino
4. “I’m like a fine wine. I get better with age. The best is yet to come.” —Richelle Mead
As a practising artist, working daily (truly) this is how i feel. My Best is Yet to Come.
When I sometimes feel like i am 'just pushing paint around' i look back at previous works and become re-energised. I look forward to seeing where i go with this painting thing. There are little moments of enlightenment and 'finished' pieces that propel me onward. so, onward!
I hope you too are onward.
WHAT's NEW
Keep an eye out - subscribe to my blog posts - i am thinking through a few workshops and ideas on the type of work i do and it seems as i start to think on one thing it leads to another and another etc.
- WOrkSHOPS & learning & a freebie
I plan for all things collage, book making, slow stitching and poetry. Exercises in Found Poetry, How-To Haiku without writing Haiku, collage, found art and much more. As i get into the planning stages i am finding that to connect all the dots and thinking them through takes time, so over time, the workshops and learning with me will come into the blog. Have a look at the 'learn with me' tab on the website. This is a place i will put freebies on the page for you.
Real time, real place forthcoming workshops are planned (soon) for bookbinding, making your own journals for drawing/writing in, collage, learning to write haiku and found poetry.
Meantime I am also working on videos in my arts practice as well as the lifestyle, Tasmania, country living videos currently up on you tube. check out the playlists which will bring together particular subjects such as
#snowcone & George
the outdoor cat run
in chat with V (he is so funny)
the creek (which is so meditative to walk down to each day)
and more.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS POST on the happy fish in their outdoor fish tank?
