La la la la la...A good day.

Owls.

My new favorite.

Today my heart also beats for:
.Matt Costa. .Bombazine Black. .Priscilla Anne. .Jaymay.


I recently came out of a severe country kick. It happens every fall. I like it, but I miss my music. MY music. That music that puts everything into perspective and just makes you happy...makes your heart literally beat. The kind of music that you can live your life to. I missed it. These past few days we've been kindling a long lost relationship that was on a hiatus for a moment that was much too long. I'm grateful for artists, of all retrospects. I feel that every person that walks this beautiful earth is an artist in some form or another, there's no fighting it.

Artist: 'One who makes their craft a fine art'

We all create something, whether it be a composition or a thought. Each and every day we create something that is our own, that has our own personal and independent mark. It's beautiful. Individually each one of us strives to not only create something, but more so on a larger level, fine tune something that I feel we sometimes overlook as a major component to our happiness. Our life; our life as a whole.

For me what makes life so beautiful is the finer more simplier things that are overlooked. Much like looking at an abstract painting. I'm no painter, so forgive me if I'm explaining how to 'take in' a painting incorrectly, but I don't think there is a wrong way to interpret art. There's no telling what exactly it may mean from afar, there is so much to take in; but to look closely at the strokes, the mixture of colors, and the smaller details that the artist has thought carefully about but has also moved their steady hand with what their heart felt was right to complete this masterpiece of emotion-that's where the beauty is. Once you understand and have taken in the beauty of the components that make up the piece of art, then this is when you take a step back and take it all in. It's a whirlwind experience that is indescribable.

I know several people who have this figured out, but even more that don't. I think it's completely ok. No one really has life figured out...if they do, please write a self help book for 'dummies' that I can buy on clearance. Actually, no, I enjoy the process of figuring life out. It makes things that much sweeter when you do-like country music. I go on this kick and then the music that I LOVE, I respect and adore that much more when I return to it. It's steps and strokes like this that create this huge beautiful and wonderful piece of art we call life.

This is a corny metaphor, but I really wanted to write what I felt and sometimes, life is super corny. You just 'gotta go with it I suppose. Sometimes I feel that things are 'corny' because everyone wants them to happy...well, we all want happiness, right? So maybe this isn't as corny on the grander scheme of things as I thought...
