Hello Rick and Maria,

Welcome to Day 10 of Bijou's Be Well Bundle video series!

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ― Melody Beattie

"The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us."

-Gabrielle Bernstein

Have you ever had a moment looking back at a tile you created with no memory of creating it? Where were you at that moment? The act of tangling that tile brought you on a journey to a magical place of calm and peacefulness, ultimately bringing you home safely. Looking back, you can find comfort in knowing you spent your time in this way. You can also admire the beauty of your art and how it is a reflection of you.

Bijou thinks there is wisdom not only in the practice of creating art but in reflecting on what we have created. There is wisdom in pausing to see not only the experience but the result. "We don't learn by doing, we learn by reflecting on what we've done"- anon. Today, Bijou reminds us to learn a lesson from ourselves, and take time to admire where we have been, as it is the guide to where we are going.

Be well, be you,

Bijou
