Hello Paintbrush.













It's amazing how the magic of a little water and a splash of color can make an ordinary day spectacular.

Truly spectacular.

If only every day allowed for such great moments.

Oh wait ... it can.

Because every day we're given a choice.

Ordinary?

 or

Extraordinary?

I choose extraordinary.

Even if it does take more patience, leads to a few spills, and tests the limits of control I have as a mother.

I still choose magic.

We've been painting here too. First parts of the house and now moving on to the one end of the garage.

It does test a person's patience, but to see their sense of accomplishment makes that deep breathing really worth it!

Ah...my limits continue to be tested! Not brave enough to get paint out yet! Sidewalk chalk will have to do. Happy summer friend!
