Thank you to Sigridur (Sigga) Bachmann for allowing me to paint from her beautiful photo of her gorgeous Iceland. I wrote this poem yesterday and thought “Sigga’s Iceland” perfect for it. I call the poem “Positive”...... Positivity in life goes a long way. It can be a night’s light and brighten your day. A nice person is kind to all, minus none. A kind heart loves ev’ry one; judges noone. Sunshine in life is rain, clouds, and a big smile. To love these is to love life in all it’s style. It’s living positive and accepting all. It is enjoying life and seeing no fall. Everything is up and nothing is down. It is wearing a smile instead of a frown. The cliche that your cup is full is so true. To see it half empty is to feel some blue. Short is life, for sure, but it can be quite sweet If we love and smile at everyone we meet. So have a very happy and loving day. Live it full, live it now, and live it your way. Sharon Gonzalez
