It's A Small World

Embracing the small world we live in is so important to me as I get older. And, really understanding the connection we can feel in person. This is not by sitting home watching TV. But, by getting outside and meeting and talking to people. Not really my favorite thing to do. But, realizing with most people I meet, now, there is something in common to share or learn from. March is women's history month. It was exciting to visit Walt Disney World last month. It was the first time by myself, to enjoy and pay attention to some things in the park I really appreciate. I went into the Contempory by monarail. And, walked around the mural by Mary Blair that takes up the circumference on all the floors in the center of the building. I took pictures of some of the characters, with the bunny being the most memorable. Since, it is the year of the bunny, too. And, there were probably three different people I met along the way, and the conversation ended with: "It's a small world". In the scope of things, it really isn't. But, the fact that our country can give so much attention to outer space and the future. It does make it feel small. Each month I have been giving attention to different aspects of my life. I draw the conclusion at the end of the month. So, far January was about perspective, and February was putting love over fear. I am not too sure what March is yet. But, I have a feeling it will be about moving forward. I pay a lot of attention to women artists in March. And, I am so glad to share Mary Blair as the first Artist to share. She was definitely a break through Artist for the early 60's. It was still very male dominated. But, what I love is the world she created. It was cute, but it also held the cubism of modern art. And, it was about light in the shapes, mosaic, sculptural and was set to music. Water is even involved as it is a boat ride to enjoy the whole work. Each day I spend appreciating all the world has to offer is a good day. I am grateful this is how I wake up, and take some time to give attention to what the computer can bring to my fingertips. Looking forward to spending more time outside as the weather is starting to get warmer, and sunshine fills the air. Quote of the day: “You get an education in school and in college. And then you start to work. and that’s when you learn!” Mary Blair Song of the Day: What a Wonderful World Louis Armstrong
