Posted @withrepost • @mkranthony • My dog Oliver woke me up at 7am to go out, but when he saw it was pouring down rain, he opted to lay down and just stare outside. At 8:30, he wanted to try again. This time, he ran outside so I closed the door and waited. And waited. Finally, he came running back, but he was unrecognizable. His beautiful red-gold coat was covered from nose to tail in thick, black mud. I gasped then grabbed him and ran him back to the tub for a bath. He was a mess, the tub was a mess, the house was a mess. At that point, I knew I was up for the day, so I decided to get my daily page done. My mind was a mess and all I could think of was mess, so I chose mess for today’s word. I made a mess on the page with blue paint, spray, Marabu art crayons and tissue paper. I let it dry, then added some collage elements. When I was done, I liked it better than when I started. I stared through the window on the page then the window next to me to the muddy yard below and realized sometimes we need to view our mess from a different vantage point. Sometimes we see something we didn’t before, sometimes we find beauty in the midst of the mess. That is, if we can look past the muddy paw prints through the house 🐾🐾 .
