Experience is today's lesson from yesterdays happenings for tomorrows possibilities.




Brainy Quotes
There is a ton of doors opened with this one.The one we are interested in is life experience. Is there anything more enabling or more debilitating than what we experience on the road of life? No one I have ever met has ever been quiet about what life has dealt them, some good and some bad. Where it gets interesting is when you ask "What was the result or What happened?" You will either get a wealth of what for's and what not's or you will get nothing. Nothing meaning it was and still is a negative. In short, the road ends here along with the lesson and the life it may have contained. If there is any explanation at all that indicates it was or is being handled internally or externally on a positive note, it will enhance life. Be sure your life experience is handled toward a positive end. The quote today is a lesson to be learned about being positive. The proof? Hebrews 2:8-9 "At present, it is true, we are not able to see that all things are under him, but we do see Jesus, who was for a short while made less than the angels, now crowned with glory and honour because he submitted to death; so that by God’s grace his experience of death should benefit all humanity."

 I am gradually working up to Easter, my favorite time of the year. I am starting to see Easter cards out there. Christmas is important but to me Easter is the most holy of all times. My DW Jill has posted a card that is for Christmas. Here is the Colored image for your approval. This image was given to me so I have no idea who the stamp company is that created it. If you know please let me know and I will give proper credits to it.

Copic Colors: R24, Y28, E19, Y00, B97, R39, C3, C4, E31, E33, BV08, E21, B05, R29, E34, T5, E57, BV02, V17, BG18, YR24, T13

This was some what fun to do. As with so many of my early images there were a very limited number of colors available. I had to make do. Here is the card my DW made from it.

She did better with making the card than I did coloring it. Really great card.

My next image is of a German Bearded Iris. I have about 8 or 10 different colors ranging from pure white, blues, browns and several multi colors. My absolute favorite, hands down is this beauty.

I am praying that this one survives this brutal winter. I have but one of them.I have looked for this particular color combo and can't find it anywhere.

I think Jill did a fantastic job with this card. I am pleased and grateful she is so gifted at making her cards. It makes it possible to share with others who are less fortunate and who need something to brighten their day.

Well, that's it for today. I hope we all enjoyed ourselves.....Hold on there.......I hope you enjoyed yourself. I think I did. "Cherokee enjoy self." That's nice. By the way that sun dance thing you did the other day ..... uh ..... worked. Just a dusting of snow. Thank you. "Welcome." "Cherokee Love Details too." OOOOKKKKK. There went my punch line. See you Thursday. "Cherokee too, Maybe. Irish give Cherokee funny stare." We shall see Cherokee.
