"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art."American Speaker, Author, Political Activist
1884 - 1962
In one sense, we all are artists. We create the lives we lead. While we may not have any control over what happens to us, we do have control how we respond to what happens to us. And how we respond creates the person we become. When you reach the end of the road one day and you look back at your life, what is the legacy you have left behind. What kind of person have you become? Will you be a grouchy, grumpy old drunk or a kind, caring matriarch? Will you dance with laughter or worry and fret over the fact that your husband never puts down the toilet seat? We all make choices in life and those choices create the lives we lead.
Our lives are a work of art. What color are your memories? How many wrinkles line your dreams? Do your hopes have arthritis? What are you doing today that will create your legacy tomorrow? What decisions are you making today that will form the core of your character tomorrow? Life is about growth and change. What lessons are you learning that will change your life? Your life is a canvas. Pick up your paint brush and start painting. Live the life today that you will be proud of when you are 103.
