We just returned from a two week trip to Arizona. It seemed very odd to visit a place we used to call home. We rented a nice condo near the Grayhawk golf course and had the granddaughters and my daughter visit. We had a great time. It was in the 80's, warm form February. We left the 80's to return to our new home in Georgia and snow!
We spent most of our time visiting our artist friends at the Celebration of Fine Art. It was such a treat to be around positive people who are so creative and bright. It really brought home how much of our countries current attitude of doom and gloom is mental. It is brought on my listening to the news and having people tell us day after day how awful things are and how poor we are. The visitors to the Celebration have a great time and yes, they are buying art. The atmosphere is positive and upbeat and everyone feels that. We all need that break from dark news heaped on us by the media.
These wonderful people are also helping others less fortunate. Today they are having an event called the Art of Food which will benefit St. Mary Food Bank Alliance in Arizona. It focuses not only on food donations but the wonderful programs St. Marys provides to help people train for employment in the food industry.
My advise to everyone is turn off the news! Enjoy your family and friends and spend some quality time with a smile on your face. Here is something to help you smile.
