Today I am Thankful

 


I never know where my mind will go or what I might think of or write about.
I stood staring at my back yard through the  kitchen window, making my mixed berry smoothie in the Bullet Blender, and realized I love looking out our windows when the sun is shining. 10 am is the perfect time to view.
I am thankful for our home, our views from our windows and for my bullet blender.
I love Gods Color wheel that paints our yard day by day


I am also thankful for my creative mind that is always ON and running and makes me see while turning , the fruit bowl and thinking primary colors of fruit.
My brain  hops and skips from thought to thought.


my brain skipped while I sat sipping my smoothing and the next thing I knew, I had found a color book page online, dumped it in the iPad to see if I could paint the box. 
I could and I did. I can drag and drop colors, I can color with crayons or charcoal or paint with water colors, or oil  paints.. its all there 
I just need to drive the brain to tell the hands what to do

Joining Brian's Home for Thankful Thursday
I am deeply thankful that a friend, Bev Whitcomb, told me way back in 2008 that she had a blog and sent it to me and brought all of you into my life.
I learned how to put a new pallett of colors in Procreate using a color wheel found on WWW
More colors to paint with.

  9. What a lovely view you have through your kitchen window! Your pool is so inviting! do you swim often? I would LOVE to be able to get in a pool and swim/exercise. They say it is very good for arthritis, and I am becoming more and more in need of that help day by day. I love that you enjoy the beautiful colors that God has given us to enjoy...what a drab world this would be if everything was in black and white like our old TV's from the 50's and early 60's! Remember when we saw our first color TV? I remember watching Bonanza at my Aunt and Uncle's house in Crafton, PA. I thought they had to be very rich to have a color TV! They were richer than we were, for sure. We had B&W for quite a few more years before we could afford a color tv. Now we just take it for granted. I am VERY thankful that God gave us such a colorful world to enjoy!! We are blessed to have eyes to see!! Have a lovely day!

  13. I love the way your mind works! In turn, oftentimes you prompt me to think outside the box. Now I need to quit pouting about what I can't do and look out the window at all God's given me.
