01/23/2023 – J-Dub's Grin and Bear It

Linda says Your prompt for JusJoJan January 23rd 2023, is “paintbrush.” Use the word “paintbrush” any way you’d like. Enjoy! Paula provided the prompt word. Woo Hoo! Visit Paula’s blog to read her posts and say hello.

I’m not all that artistic but I do love to paint. By numbers. Remember those? Wonder if they still have them. Need to check out Michael’s craft store next time I’m there.

Having the right type of paintbrush makes all the difference & would allow me to paint beautiful scenes. Or so I tell myself. Stretching the truth just a bit huh? Well sort of. Pretty sure the type of paintbrush used matters to those who know. Otherwise they wouldn’t have a bazillion choices.

Our Lulu paints for relaxation. She’s really pretty good at it. I wish we had inspired her to take an artistic track for her life’s work. She even says sometimes that she wishes could use her creative juices to make a living. I guess though if she really wanted it, she’d figure out how to do it. The cliche of you can be anything you set your mind to. Ha! I’ll never be a dancer and could practice hours a day to become only marginally better. Quick question, even if I’m not good at it, am I still a dancer if I dance all over the place like in line at the Starbucks counter this morning? Sure, I’m a dancer, just not a very good professional one.

This is getting too deep. Heavy for a Monday. And how the heck did paintbrush turn into Jilly’s failed dream of being a ballerina? Oh behave. Guess I’ll quit while I’m ahead.

As always, more to come.
