Let the painting begin

A few posts back I mentioned how I wanted to paint something with actual paint on an actual canvas. Lo and behold, I find myself the proud owner or oil, acrylic and water color paints, and (ta-da) a canvas.

As much as it means to me to have this opportunity, it means more to be given those items by someone who genuinely wants to see me check off some items on my bucket list.

Life's accomplishments are amazing and satisfying in and of themselves. But having a cheerleader and someone with whom to celebrate, win or lose, is so much better.
