The BeAch Bag

The Beach Bag is a reminder to me to throw on something colorful, get your tote bag, and head for the sunshine.

The painting sets this thought in my mind each time I look at it. It causes a smile to form at the corners of my mouth,

as those memories of beach days start to warm me up.

 When I am going through really hard times, I try to remember that brighter days will come again. In these moments, I choose to live until I can live again. I may think no one sees and no one knows what I am going through, but God sees and loves me. He is always right there with me. With the help of others, the rough times eventually show me what they have for me to learn about myself and others. That really is sunshine.
