And then we have days like this... I wasn't very happy with Day 5 but in keeping with the overall goal of this challenge I had to move on.  I have to say, YAY FOR DAY 6!  I thoroughly enjoyed the abstract quality of the background in this painting.  The figure gave me heartburn, but that's ok. One of my personal goals for this challenge is to stretch out of my comfort zone and yes, its torture. But until today I forgot how much I really love to make brush strokes.  Its a happy place for me.

This scene is at our family's favorite spot, Siesta Key.  My sweet Henry can spend hours playing in the sand, back and forth with his bucket.  So blessed to live a short 10 min drive from this beach.  There is nothing I have found that is more healing and fulfilling than spending time with my kids just playing.  Its what they do best and I tend, as most moms do, get caught up in chores and everything else.  I have made it a daily goal to just play even if i just chase them around the kitchen island a few times between dinner and bath time. I cant resist the squeal of Henry!  With 3 boys all heading in different directions its a challenge even though it seems such a simple thing to do.  So I am grateful for our beach days, everyone is right where they need to be :)

Thanks for reading
