Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another. ~Condorcet

Today I am grateful...
- another weekend has passed without developing a resentment
- that there is something missing compositionally from the painting I am working on. I will solve it eventually, but it's an interesting process getting there.
- that I am one of a kind, but that does not distinguish me in a group of alcoholics because there I am just an ordinary drunk
- that today I can take a compliment as it is intended and say 'thank you'
- that my life has been changed by the program of recovery and the 12 Steps
- to be creative and hopeful
Striving for excellence is a positive quality.
Striving for perfection is self-defeating.

I will be more than happy to assist you on that painting. It's been a while since I've done painting training.
Good morning wishes from one ordinary ex-drunk to another. May you remain creative and hopeful all day!
Happy Monday Scott. I had a bit of a resentment over the weekend but am working through it.
You will get your inspiration for the painting. Cuz' that's what you do!
I wish you insight and courage in your project.
Blessings and aloha...
I will look forward to hearing about how you work this one out.
i may have asked you this before, but do you get a mental image of your paintings before you paint them, or do they reveal themselves to you?
i still struggle with saying "thank you" but i'm not as bad as i usedta be :)
I do a 'thumbnail' sketch of them before I start. Then grid out the drawing, and transfer it all onto the canvas that has been painted a cocoa color.
If I get stuck, I photograph it and put it in Photoshop, then play around with it there before I commit further.
so that's where all the knitting done at AA goes!
