Life is in the Living
March 2010
Stephen Leacock said, “Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour.” A smart man once shared his philosophy for life: Finding someone or something to look forward to. This year, I’ve decided to invest in discovering what makes me happy.
I’ve started a painting class at Arkansas Arts Center. I was bone tired when I attended my first class. The stools were uncomfortable, I was thirsty but all the sudden the teacher started mixing paint. She demonstrated how to use only three colors to develop skin tones in portraits. After that I was hooked. I couldn’t wait to try the technique. The class makes me feel happy and alive. I’ve found something to look forward to.
Life is simple: Find someone or something to look forward to. I look forward to our next conversation.
