Appreciate Simple Pleasures

I find that enjoying simple pleasures makes our life worth living.- A cup of fresh coffee, a walk in the park, or just spending time with children or the people you love.  Many people get so accustumed to their surroundings that they fail to appreciate the small details of life.

I try to do that.  I take my 5 yr. old grandson with me on afternoons to walk our Japanese Chin.  I wait till after 3 p.m. so he can come with me.  He is always amazed by something he sees.  He talks the whole time, and dances and skips in the street.  I enjoy every minute of it.




I am trying to cultivate  in him an interest in Art.  It brings me so much joy,  I am never bored, on the contrary,  I can't wait to get to my paintings.  When I was small one of my favorite things to do was to play with my coloring book

I tried to make a portrait of him.  I am not pleased with the eyes.  I need to work on the eyes some more.
