Cappuuccino

Today I played painter and rolled around in dust bunnies and slathered cappuccino on kitchen walls.

I'm not usually very fond of change. Change typically means discomfort. Instinctively, I avoid discomfort. But sometimes change brings about beautiful (and necessary) life advancements.
I'm a thoughtful person, and as I painted today I was thinking about change. I thought of the previous coat of paint that I was covering. I thought about the next coat of paint to come. What color will those walls be in ten years? Or maybe those walls won't even be there.

So many things could change.

   ...but that's the point, isn't it? Without change we'd be boring people living in boring land. And living a boring life is not an aspiration of mine.

So be vibrant. Be you. Don't be intimidated by change. Be bold.
Life is too short to be dull. Life is to temporary to be anyone but who God designed you to be. The gift of life was not intended to be lived with fear; you were called to stand courageous.

And wear funny hats. Because life is also too short to not wear funny hats.



Goodnight all.

I'm starting to realize that change makes life exciting-- and stressful, but mostly exciting :)
