I Have Always Wanted To

I have always wanted to…. DO IT! Her voice is encouraging. I smile at her youth. I wish I could… YOU CAN! Her enthusiasm makes my heart sing a little. Seventeen is so optimistic! If it was only that easy…. IT IS! Just do it! While you still can! She gives me that pixie smile that uplifts me in the morning. How can I bear having her gone to college next year? Buy some canvases, she encourages me. Start now. Her faith in me propels me forward. I pick up the phone and begin to order supplies. Being what I always wanted to be – an artist. It truly was that easy!
