A Cuppa Serenity ~ Doesn’t that just sound like the most beautiful way to start your day? I think so! 🙂 I’ve shared with you before how much I love to start my day with my inspirational time. It just seems to set the course for my day and provide me with this sweet foundation that enables me to see a bit more JOY in the hours ahead. And, I like this…a lot. However, if I don’t work this into my morning routine, I may not feel the roughness to the edges of the day all of a sudden, but it will surely be noticed sooner than later. And, I will struggle a bit with it until I acknowledge that I’ve been getting less of this dose of serenity in my days. Time to get back on track.
I sketched this cup way back…maybe one day on the beach. It’s been sitting in my sketchbook just waiting for its moment to come to life. I’ll still paint it, but I decided to create it digitally for now. I just love how it turned out and think it’s the perfect reminder. Sometimes I feel frustrated because I love creating digitally and also love creating with paint on my fingers. The frustration seeps in when I feel that I don’t have time to do both. When I get back in the zone where my heart feels alive, my mind feels renewed, and my thoughts seem to be refreshed on a daily basis, then, I realize I can do both. And, I can do tons of other things, too. For me, being disciplined to plan the beginning of my day this way means my week will go a whole lot better. I will be more creative, my spirit will be much calmer, and I will just be happier overall. *Find this sweet inspirational print in my shoppe.
Funny how it works this way…filling my heart and soul with a cuppa goodness each day. It’s just like our bodies…the more we feed them healthy foods, the better they operate. Why should my heart and mind be any different? So, here’s to feeding your soul with the good stuff, making it a routine, and reaping the benefits of a happy soul! *The above design, “Fill Your Cup” is also available in my shoppe.
Happy Monday, Sweet Friends!! *Find this fun palm tree photography print in my shoppe, too! 🙂

I sat on the front swing and watched the sun come up over the bay… I love our little beach hut. I am just sorry no one wants to share it anymore… someday maybe my family will come back… I have love in my heart and sand on my feet… back home now… but can still hear the waves…. Love you Missy
