Birthday
It will be a birthday post, even if I had my birthday two weeks ago. It will be a birthday post because something has happened during these two weeks. It made me think and feel so grateful just to be, to be alive, to have time, to love, create and learn. I realised how much I want to live and how fragile life sometimes can be. I realised how quick and suddenly everything can change. One day I was celebrating birthday and making plans for the future and few days later the possibility of different future than I thought arrived. Life a guess... I do not know what is going to happen but I do know that I want to carry on with my plans and dreams, enjoy and cherish every moment, give myself time when I need to rest, create, become mum, love and be close with my loved ones. Life is a gift. We sometimes easily forget about it. It will be spring of hope...and waiting.
I painted a self- portrait as a birthday gift for myself. It was good and interesting experience to paint myself. I discovered how important is to keep balance between fear and trust during the painting process. The more we look, the more we see. Have a beautiful week dear souls.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful self-portrait, Aga. I could not agree with your words more. Life is fragile and we never know what is coming. I truly believe it is important to enjoy each and every moment. Even the ones that are not so great can teach us something. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, sweet Aga! You and I must have had our birthdays at almost the same time (mine is March 22). I always enjoy celebrating my birthday. Some people feel bad about getting older, I just feel happy about life and about being me (and getting to eat cake!). Life IS a gift and you never know what's going to happen.
ReplyDeleteYour portrait is lovely. I hope the coming year is full of delights and surprises and lots of Joy!
Hugs to you!

Lovely self portrait. You are very talented. I've been wanting to try a portrait with watercolor and the fear usually gets the best of me. Hopefully the trust will come along soon so I can get past the fear. It's only a piece of paper, right?

Life is a gift and one that we should not squander. Life is full of funny twists and turns, unexpected gifts in unlikely packages. So true the more we look, the more we see - by actually slowing down a bit and letting ourselves see. Lovely words today and a lovely self portrait
