'something Beautiful'

Picture your life If you had a blank canvas What would you do differently? If you could go back, would you? We get to start every day with a blank canvas We get to use any colour we like We get to choose how we react to what happens around us Don't ever forget that what upset you yesterday Might end up discolouring your canvas today Just don't allow it to influence how you paint the days after that Remember every stroke can bring forth something beautiful ©250620182130

The beautiful colors come when having no regrets with things that was and is beyond our control. Each day is really a blessing unless emotions and transgressions run rampant. A toast to the palette!! Blessings

So very nice, Wilma! I’m three days past a huge oak tree landing on our deck! My canvas felt a bit shaky. Let my canvas, tody, be pristine, and the colors palette beautiful! Thanks! I needed to hear that today! :):)

Wonderful use of words and thoughts. We decide the color we are. I believe we need to be like the colors of a rainbow. many working to create perfect landscape.
