“A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind”
~Eugene Ionesco
This quote totally tugged at my life is a great big canvas, so throw all the paint you can on it heartstrings. And being ever on the quest of taking what we’ve been given and fashioning it into it’s own masterpiece, I love the idea that it all starts is the mind. We’ve got ours set to ADVENTURE, and look for it maybe a little too often. This was a scene from today, on our latest excursion, with my eyes glued to the snow covered roads as we headed into a city that can barely be seen beneath the white peaks. It’s the messy moments, the car full, one babe sleeping, the other glued to movie scenes playing out on the iPad, the slick pavement hitting the tires, the leftover Starbucks cup occupying the cup holder and crumbs lining the floor that make life’s true works of art. The ones that make you sigh and feel… normal. The unexpected stroke of color that makes life full.
I’d take a messy adventure over put-together inertia any day.
And thank you to all that left the sweetest comments here and here about just that. About making life something beautiful. I’ll be painting my canvas with you in mind today.
Oh, and I’ll be picking a winner (at random) tomorrow for the OPI Nail Polish giveaway, so click here and comment!

I think I left my comment on the wrong post earlier by mistake, but I’ll say it here again. It’s refreshing to hear about your normalness. We have dried-up soda in a cupholder in our van from years ago! It’s solidified now. But whenever I see it, I think of the fun time we had at the zoo that day. Happy I visited your place today!
