Yuma Sunset, short but sweet!
I was surprised to find this insect in Arizona in January!

As you well know, this time of year is busy with all kinds of excellent distractions!
we were among those that celebrated Christmas under the palms in Yuma Arizona with some of the family.
Ah, yes… the perennial question: how is being artist useful? Thank you for your insights. One thing for sure it is a lot of fun… Perhaps that is why I feel guilty! Isn’t life supposed to be hard and miserable?
I am finally learning, Karen, that life is suppose to be full of joy, if we don’t sabotage ourselves! Which requires mindfulness…. I am slowly but surely getting rid of the guilt around enjoying what I do. Hope you can get rid of the guilt, too, my dear !
Many people reach the end of their lives and regret not stopping “to smell the roses”. I believe that appreciating any or all of the fine arts or the beauty of nature is part of a joy-filled life. Thanks for sharing the beauty you see in your life, Judy.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective, Linda! I agree with you. It is all to easy to not allow ourselves these moments and call them ‘luxuries’, as if they are not important.
