Why Bother

An artist perspective on negativity

With today's problems and strife many people forget that beauty is all around them and it is free for the seeing. I wrote about how painting or artistic endeavors can bring up your spirits.

I just am puzzled as to why people just give up and don't get involved for better more happy thoughts and actions.

Recently I was subject to a negative reaction from a group of friends regarding my enthusiasm toward increasing success in my business and theirs.

Just a turn in the road , I said to myself. Trying to remember when you get that kind of reaction you just "Return to Sender" -- that does not belong to me. I am not listening to all that stuff. But, if you are good at heart like me, just don't give up. Say a prayer for help to the situation and wait for an answer from your Father. 

Waiting and being quite will also bring up your spirits. I am not a shrink or think I know every thing. I observe every thing with a positive way and the not positive can knock you off course but just get up and GO ON.
