Total Art Soul - for artists

Sometimes when the I'm up before sunrise, working away on my art projects, I take a sip of my morning cappuccino and realize just how beautiful life is. Sure, cynics would say that life is full of suffering and there are reports about negative events every day. Unfortunately I'd have to agree to some extent but it all depends on how you look at it. Helen Keller said once that "Athough the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." I believe that our life holds so many precious moments each day, many of each we take for granted or simply are too busy to notice. Birds singing in the morning, the smell of flowers, a smile of an elder stranger, your favourite song on the radio, children playing in the background, breath of fresh air, a sickness-free day, running into an old friend, savouring delicious food, having a good laugh, being loved by friends & family, the warmth of sunshine on your face, unconditional love from your pet, or simply just Being Alive! These are just a few of the joys that we can find every day. And why wouldn't we want to? After all, life is just too short to not be lived to the fullest =)
