"A 10 minute vacation for the soul."
I still love watching reruns of The Joy of Painting with the late Bob Ross on PBS. Bob was not only a painter and teacher, he was also a philosopher and nature lover. One of his favorite sayings was, “There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.“
Learning anything new becomes overwhelming if you are afraid of making mistakes. Making what at first seems like a mistake may actually turn out better than what you intended. Look for them and you will learn to love those “happy accidents.”

“I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.” — Mahatma Gandhi
If you need a reason to smile this U-Tube video will give you one. I not only smiled, I laughed so hard Bob came in from the other room to see what was so funny. Be sure your speakers are on, then sit back and enjoy.
