Maggie's Day 328 of Discovering Love in Being Amazed

I’m a pretty humble individual. I live a relatively uncomplicated life. I strive to be the best artist I can be. I don’t expect much of anything in return.

At times I am amazed that people appreciate my work. It’s not that I don’t think my work is worth appreciating. It’s just that there’s a lot of stuff in this world to appreciate, so why bother noticing mine. People notice though.

My ego isn’t big. I hope it never is.

I will share with you that a smile tickled my face this morning when one of my students said, “Yeah, my mom saw your piece.”

The student’s mom holds a rather prominent position. I was amazed that she had scene my work. And further amazed that she even bothered to mention it to her son. Little miracles happen every day.


Afterwards I headed back to school where I was given yet another gift. One of my classmates shared with me that she and her friends were down town Friday evening and saw my sculptural self-portrait on display. My classmate’s friends were in awe of my creativity. She was proud to know me and to be working with me just as I am of her.



I’m just an ordinary person living an extraordinary life. I am in total gratitude.

So, it amazed me to no end when at the end of the day I had a nude model in one of my upstairs spare bedrooms while one of my classmates and I depicted him as only we could interpret what we saw. I really must be an artist to be doing what I’m doing and to be accomplishing what I’m accomplishing.

I just hope people keep liking what they see because I know I’m going to keep on liking what I do. Sweet Dreams to you and all the people in this world who notice the gifts you possess! Maggie ã
