Love is always the answer

The Fruits of Love

I was talking to a friend going through a hard time, and one of her friends
I've never met had said some really thoughtless, and unkind things to her.
I'm working on a new painting I like, and it is a happy, slow process.
Scrolling through my blogs I found this, and I like it. 

"I love this painting. It went home five years ago, and I still feel
happy every time I open my blog and see it. It just expresses such
exuberance and joy at living. Plus this kind of arrangement is 
normal in our house, especially in the colder months."

I think a lot of world problems (it is a scary time) could be solved
if the motivation was to be kind and loving to one another.  I know
that seems simplistic, but taking it from the personal (we need to
be kind to our friends), to the international (every country should be
working with every other country to stop climate change, and end
wars.), it makes sense to me.

We are just recovering from being quite ill for two weeks.  It
feels like a miracle to be normal. We wore our masks (now more
careful than ever), and took my car through a car wash! Wonderful. 
I have a lot of exciting things in the works so I'm delighted that I'm better.

Have a loving your life day
