Surround Yourself with Things that Make You Smile
Posted by Trae Mundt on
Theodore is my teddy bear. He was a gift from my Mom. He has a special ear that enables him to carefully listen to me.
He's soft and cuddly. I love him!
As I was drawing his portrait, I remembered a comment my Mom shared with me years ago. She encouraged me to surround myself with things that make me smile, and to toss or give away items that bring to memory difficult times and heartache.
I think this is very wise.
One of my favorite Pastor's is the late Dr. Charles Stanley. He encouraged his listeners to not drag the ball and chain of yesterday into today. What happens when we do this? Our todays become marred by hurts and disappointments.
Back to Theodore 😊
After I finished his portrait I wrote "Drawing Theodore - Pure Happiness" in my gratitude journal. Theodore brings a smile to my face. I hope he brings a smile to your face too.
