Painting Slowly

Dear Friends,

God bless you and your loved ones.

Have you ever thought that you couldn't do something and then found out that you could?

This morning my arm and shoulder hurt a lot from too much painting lately and I thought I would have to rest instead of painting today.  But I was excited about my projects and wanted to move forward anyway, so I tried painting very slowly.  I was surprised to discover that I was able to paint all day long.

The act of painting slowly was enjoyable to me.  Usually I am in a hurry and thinking about the finished project, but today I was with my friends from my art group, so I focused on the conversation and the process of spreading paint onto the canvas.

It felt great to be a slow poke and not feel guilty about it.

I hope that you will also get a chance to savor the process of doing your favorite work in the near future.

Love, Sue
