Labor of Love

Just yesterday, I volunteered to take part in a 3rd birthday party of a sweet little girl. It was a paint party and with it came decorations, sticking on walls, markers, glue, candies, rainbow cake, little kids, and lots of PAINT! It was a wonderful mixture of chaos, laughter, paint, songs, screams, and a whole lot more. I had a blast! 

I realized that when you love doing something, all your worries in life don't really matter anymore. What matters is that you found something that makes you smile everyday and makes you appreciate the beauty of life. 

Yup! This realization in birthday party. What a wonderful bunch of people too! Imagine having a group of close friends, growing up, getting married, and having kids. You celebrate weddings, baby showers, and parties together. As the kids grow up, you still have that solid group of friends to celebrate life together. That's what I saw in the party. It was amazing to witness a friendship and family so close and happy. It was incredible and left me feeling incredible. 


 My painting smock and a sweet letter. I feel blessed.
