I ask this question a lot. My mom always said I was the only one in the world that would take a picture of a blade of grass. Some people call that art. But I know for a face that many people take pictures of grass does that mean that it is not art for the fact that it is repeated so many times?
Do we judge the worth of a piece of art by its monetary value only? Does that mean that a painting or print that has not sold is worthless?
I throw paint on a canvas. Is this art? it has no skill to it. Anyone can do it. Or is it the emotion that I am feeling when I paint it that makes it art? If that is so how do I convince others of those emotions?
Today I painted. Its nothing fancy but to me it conveys all the mixed feelings I have in myself today. Happiness, guilt, love. Does it show in the painting? Its just color. I like it but will anyone else.
What exactly is art?

Top 5 Moments on My Trip
Here is a list of my top 5 favorite moments in order as they happened
1. Beaches all day. We didn't want to go to Disney world on a Saturday so we spent all day driving for a hour and stopping at a beach, driving for an hour stopping at a beach. The beaches in Florida are amazing and it was just wonderful. We didn't make it too far but we had a wonderful time.
2. Disney World. Obviously this has to be on the list. We went to Epcot. We headed right to the France portion (as if anyone would expect different) to have breakfast and had a lovely quiche. We spent a good portion of the day there talking to a man that worked in the shop who was from Paris. I learned I can even hold a conversation in French. I was great and I didn't stutter once.
3. Boca Grande. After we left Orlando we went to an island call Gillespe Island. Unfortunately we weren't to sure where we were going to camp but we decided to stop and swim. While we were there we met a nice man (Dennis) who offered to let us stay at his place. He had the most interesting stories from his past. He loves sailing and has sailed all over the world. He had such an adventurous spirit.
4. Dancing in the Rain. When we got to Charleston it rained almost all night but we weren't going to let that stop us. We walked around downtown all evening in the pouring rain. Many people looked at us like we were crazy but some admired us. It was so much fun just to talk a leisurely walk in the pouring rain. On man walked with us holding an umbrella over our heads until he got to where he needed to go. We jumped in puddles and danced around and fun was had by all.
5. Chattanooga, TN. Everything about this place is magical. We met some great guy there who played so beautiful music for us. We spent several hours on the foot bridge playing music and singing and talking. The next day we went and climbed a mountain and swam in a stream. It felt like we were kids again. More people need to do that. We get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget what its like to be totally free and have fun. I really want to move there. If you have a chance go and experience the magic.
but the best part of all was coming home to my wonderful companion and best friend Derick. I missed him so much and it is wonderful to be back in his arms
