Dearest Tushkateers,  I find myself, today, sitting under gray. No floating clouds, no variations in hue, nor a hint of sunlight; 360 degrees of light gray.  While I appreciate the color gray, in all its glory, and say to myself, “this is a simple sky to paint or photograph; use this gray as your inspiration for the day,” my mind wanders and wonders about sunshine.

I decide to paint a square of gray on top of which I will write in my best script one of my favorite quotes about sunshine.  I invite you to join with me, whether you are weathered by gray or not.

Lighten up, fly though and above the clouds…defy gravity-if you will!
