We can choose to be stuck in negative energy or we can choose to take a walk in the great outdoors – where we can breath fresh air and enjoy nature’s bounty. Doing this is pretty much guaranteed to change our mood and attitude.

We can choose to turn off the constantly depressing and repetitive news or we can choose to put on some beautiful and uplifting music.

We can choose to be a couch potato or not!
We can choose to smile:) at those we encounter or not
We can choose to say thank you or not……..
We can walk in the ethereal glow of sun beams through trees….
Listening to water running over a weir can be soothing and mood changing.
No matter what our circumstances we can make choices. There is no question that it is easier for some than others, but even the smallest choice can change our day and the way we feel.

As we enter summer….it is time to hone our observational skills and choose to delight in Mother Nature’s bounty and ignite our creative energy.

I really enjoyed your magnificent watercolors here, Janet. Each one is celebration of nature and life on earth. My favorites were the summer tree, for the vitality of summer that you expressed; the sunbeams through the trees, a brilliant manifestation of sunbeams; and the bridge-river scene, so grounding and earthly. Cheers to nature and your skillful talents.
Thank you so much dear Jet:)
