Pleasingly Simple

Aug. 4, 2009 Day 13 I cherish God's gift of life with exuberance! I'm changing the word joy to exuberance in this statement . It feels more lively and passionate . I've got to get passionate and grateful for God's gift of life to me. Thank you, God, for my life. Thank you, God, for everything I have today. I am truly blessed. Drawing: Pleasingly Simple White paper, clean, crisp image/pattern, markings upon the page. Basic colors. Pleasingly simple. Drawing's Message: Keep it simple, straightforward. Lighten the load in the moment. Exuberance is key. Exuberance is fun. Exuberance is light-hearted. Just keep it simple and light and all will be well. All is well. It is. Thank you, drawing.
