.Art Makes Me Happy.

I have come to realize that there is a van go in everyone no matter what they look like or how they act there is a true artist inside at times its hard to see what they are trying to say with their art but if you watch them you'll see how they are painting there life.

To see their art you must open your minds to see all the possibilities you first have to find what their art is, it might be poetry or being able to touch your soul with their piercing soft words that you hadn't thought was possible for a person to do.

Or it might be the art of paint. Seeing the beauty in others or landscape and being able to put it on a surface others would think is boring until the artist shows them the true beauty and potential of it.

The art to put together a broken heart doctors are artists they are able to do things that are unbelievable to others and they get to fix the broken and help that person who never thought they would run a marathon or see the light of a new day.

The art of seeing all the artists in the world who don't know there potential, these artists have the art of showing all the fallen and the average that there is more to them than they know and they just couldn't see or believe in themselves until the artist unlocks them.

It’s sad to see all the artist in the world who see all the other artist in the world but can’t see one of the best artists they’re the ones who tell themselves there not good for this world they just take away from the beauty there the ones who see the white canvas and see the potential of it but do nothing but criticize it because they can’t believe the others that walk by and say I've painted my best on that canvas and its one of the most beautiful masterpieces I've seen in my life.

If someone tells you your beautiful believe them, if someone says your voice is one of a kind start listening you might hear what they hear, if they tell you you're words are as sweet as honey start talking you could save a broken spirit, if they tell you you’re a great painter open your eyes you'll see the world in new ways, if they tell you you’re an amazing athlete cheer you could make another one.

Don't let an artist fall into the dark, make the world beautiful tell them the truth and open your eyes you'll see the masterpieces of the world.

.Going Green Makes Me Happy.

I just Love salads! I could just live on them

I had a salad everyday during summer there quick and easy to make and they make you feel energetic and light unlike a burger and fries or something greasy.
I didn't want to get sick of eating salads so I mixed it up a bit everyday I would do something different, I would put chicken in one day and another I would have a chili salad or I would have a grilled cheese with Swiss instead of yellow and I would have a side salad Mmmh! so good!
