The wise old artists

Posted on March 9, 2011 by vmacandcheese

Is there anyone else that can hardly believe that Wednesday is over? This week has been absolutely zany for me!

So to keep things simple on this lovely mid-week evening, I thought I’d share a number of quotes I’ve been saving up from some very wise old artists. I love collecting things like this, because every now and again, when you need it most, re-visiting these ideas can be truly inspirational!

Bon soir!

Some of you might recognize the Van Gogh quote from when I posted it back in November. Since then, I’ve discovered the artist who created this print — did you know the type is made up of hundreds of thousands of tiny stars? More on that tomorrow!

I saw this quote a few weeks back on Pinterest and it completely resonated with me. Doesn’t it sometimes feel like we hold ourselves back — from anything and everything? I was thinking about how when I was much younger, the world seemed chock full of endless possibilities. For some reason, as we get older, I think we set boundaries for ourselves…but where’s the fun in that? Today, remind yourself that the sky is not always the limit, that anything is possible, and that you never know what’s just around the corner.

You’re amazing. Just the way you are.

It’s true: I just quoted Bruno Mars in the post header.

And also: How is it Monday again already?

What did you all do the last two days? This weekend, I finally bought my first Christmas gift (yay!), cleaned the whole entire flat top to bottom (including a closet that previously held only junk — I was able to reclaim it as a second closet for myself. Double yay!), and even finished sending out holiday cards (triple yay! Those things had been sitting on my desk, taunting me, for weeks).

Really, I’m not too upset that Monday’s back again. This week will be filled with plenty of holiday parties, potlucks, and gift exchanges. We’re inching closer and closer to The Big Day and I, for one, am getting excited.

You know, this time of year can be filled with so much pressure, and it’s good to remind yourself of the above. And I mean both parts: that 1) you should be kind to yourself, and 2) you’re amazing. I’m the first to step up and admit that I can be extremely hard on myself (especially during the holidays, when I tend to focus so much on all the little details). But this year, I’m trying to let go a little and just relax. Strangely enough, it really helps you enjoy the season. I know. Who da thunk?

Happy Friday everyone! It’s the first weekend of December — I hope you spend it enjoying the fun and magic of the season. I’ll be braving the cold (and potential rain) to hit up the Alameda Antiques Faire on Sunday, and can’t wait to see what kind of vintage holiday decor I might discover. Anyone have any big plans this weekend?
