Untitled: Today's art group sketch
I do now know the model's name,
but luckily she loves turquoise and
mauve, and liked her portrait.

to come up with 2018 things I learned in 2018...
The 2002nd thing I learned (again)!
Hang out with people who make you feel wonderful. I am
so lucky to know people here in my own city, Toronto,
and because of taking part in International shows, all over the
world, who are so kind, funny and exceptional in so many ways.
You know you make me so happy. Thank you.
The 2003rd thing I learned (again)!
Be here now. Don't drag around the harsh comments, bad behaviour,
of the occasional bad tempered person you encounter. I am trying to
live in the present moment as much as possible. When I do, I see that
there is so much to be happy about. And if I have met someone grumpy
in my travels, focusing on the present let's them go! :-)
The 2004th thing I learned this year!
Recognize the amazing generosity of everyone you know!
I know this all seems pretty simple, but I have been blessed
with so much generosity from people in my home town, friends,
family, co-workers, the blog circle, on Facebook, Twitter,
in my community, from stores, market people, collectors,
gallery owners. The list of boundless generosity in my
experience is endless. I can never thank you enough, but
please know that I appreciate your generosity so very much.
That's it for today. Only 14 to go.
Have a loving what you've learned day!

Those are valuable things to have learned and be mindful of...
Thank you so much Judi. Sometimes I think the walls of our house
should be covered with reminders of how we need to be. But our
walls are covered with paintings, so I have to look on my blog,
on other people's posts, and keep on reading!
Happy Holidays!
XOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
