I wish I could remember where ...

I saw this on somebody's blog today.

I just can't remember who's words they are.

But trust me ...

I was so impressed and loved it so much

that I just had to share.

Aren't these words just perfect?

Not just for today, Thanksgiving Day,

but every day of the year if you are an artist.

1.  I am thankful

that I am not

one of the majority of people

in this world

that wakes up every morning,

goes to a job they hate,

just to come home and do it all over again.

2.  I am thankful

that when I am away from my studio,

my ideas come with me;

they keep me company everywhere I go.

3.  I am thankful

for this passion that gives me so much joy

(and angst) but mostly joy.

4.  I am thankful

that when I have left this earth,

I will leave something meaningful behind.

5.  I am thankful

that I have a mind that can not sleep;

I will never be bored.

6.  I am thankful

that there is a part of my life

that nobody can control,

except me.

7.  I am thankful

that no one in the world

can ever take this gift from me.

8.  I am thankful

that I am brave,

it takes courage to pursue my gift.

9.  I am thankful

that I am never satisfied,

it forces me to move forward and grow.

10.  I am thankful

I discovered this list!

Pass it on.
