Happy New Year

 With a GRATEFUL heart I'm ready to start a wonderful and excitng 2025!

It may be 12 days into 2025 but already my new year has been busy.  A wonderful, unexpected visit from great friends who live way too far away.  Several days of babysitting my dear grandbabies. And, a variety of other events may have kept me from blogging but have made my 2025 looking good already.

This year my word of the year is, GRATEFUL.

Several times I've had  journals and lists of "what I'm grateful for" as part of my new year must do plan.  This year I'm trying to focus on remembering the small everyday things.  Of course, I'm grateful for health, home and the wonderful people in my life and I continue to count those blessings each day.  Now in 2025 I also want to add remembering the beauty and importance of the little things.  The unexpected, a sight on my walk, a new food, or maybe something someone said that made me smile.  A new year focused on all the little moments that make each day so sweet, inspiring, and beautiful but moments we so often overlook in the rush of our busy day.

May you all find wonder this year in the big and small things.  

Have a blessed 2025!

A word about the photos of my pour painting experiments.  I love watching videos of artists using pour painting techniques.  I really find it relaxing just to watch.  But, then of course, I needed to give it a try.  I'm not much of a painter but it's still fun to experiment with other mediums.  I encourage you to check out pour painting online or maybe a local class.  I watch many artists but one of my favorites is Designer Gemma77 on Facebook, so many great ideas!
