Kindness and Connection - Day 2

My goals are simple today- be kind and connect with those around me. I do this mostly - but also unconsciously so much of the time. Sometimes I can rush through experiences and miss a lot while being irritated that it's all not moving fast enough. Looks like Impatience is the enemy of kindness and connection. So today, I'll not be in such a hurry.
I took this photo at dusk on Mission Beach. Taking photos is where the inspiration for my art begins- it's the opportunity to stop and capture glimpses of beauty that I carry in my heart and mind. connection and kindness are my goals as I navigate through arranging hospice care for my beautiful Mom, the woman who gave me the gift of art.
