I got an email on the first day of November that seems to have brought new light to my life :D It has brought new opportunities, new friends, new motivations, new ideas…the list goes on!
Finding light is much like your strategy to find motivation. The way you suggested we break up tasks to smaller tasks until we get to something we can handle depending on our mood. Even if nothing is starkly luminous right now, there is something smaller shining that just needs an adjustment of focus to find.
I'm always looking at and for light as an artist. Even in its literal sense light brings me pure joy. On bitter cold days the radiant warmth of light can make me pause and sigh happy sighs.
Light is transformational. And because natural light is always changing, your surroundings are always changing. I’ve been looking at the same scenery for 21 years in North Wales and before that for 25 years in Southern Arizona. It never gets boring. Because light.
In the cases such as the sunshine on a bitter cold day I find it best to keep in mind that you can't have light without warmth. The light will always warm you!
I love to see the sunrise every day. It fills me with hope to see the skies turn such gorgeous colors and the sun make its way up into the sky. Then, at the end of the day, I like to watch the sunset and observe the beautiful hues turn from stunning yellows, oranges and pinks to darker purples and then full dark. It is a marvel I will never tire of watching.
When I am needing New Light on a subject, I have a saying I use. I say there are no problems, only solutions. It frees my cramped up brain to ponder solutions. Solutions are using imagination and that’s fun!
In the winter, with all the snow, as the daylight changes across the mountains it moves from soft pinks and purples to blues and oranges. The quality of the light here is wonderful and when winter snows come, all that light bouncing around is stunning. There is a book called Snowmen at Night and the artist is amazing at dealing with reflective light on snow.

'Even if nothing is starkly luminous right now, there is something smaller shining that just needs an adjustment of focus to find.’ I love this!

One of the things I like about winter is I get to see sunrises. I am not a morning person, not a dawn chaser. It’s got to come to me.
You are your name, Dawn.

Here you are previewing one of my first posts in January!
Here in Idaho I feel like I'm in a constantly changing watercolor painting.
How so?
