Face each day with a new coat of paint!

I think nothing of changing my nail polish. In fact, if I had to take it off daily and reapply....I probably would. New color, smooth finish. There are lots of choices when it comes to colors and even finishes now days. Each application gives you a new and unique attribute. It's easy to show off your personality based on your nails via shape, color, decoration. Who knew nail polish or even lack there of could say so much? I've decided as of late that my nail polish speaks volumes about me. There are days like today where I don't have any on. It's back to basics. It's about functionality and getting things done. Then there are the days where a new coat goes on. Those days it's about preparing my best self to go out and face the world. The days in the middle where the color looks good and isn't chipped or coming off...those are the days where I am in the trenches. Out working hard and running around, those days I am often barely keeping my head above water and that is WITH my water wings on. Those days are also the days that perhaps I am taking the time to live. To live in the moment and to feel the sun on my face or watch my son play baseball. Those are the days that preparing the family meals is more important than the blog post or the jewelry order waiting to be put together. Then, when the going gets tough and the tough have been going non-stop and the polish begins to chip and crack, well, much like the atonement works in our lives, the polish remover comes out and the nails are wiped clean. Back to basics to begin again. Depending on where you are at in and what circumstances you are currently living through, it's o.k. not to repaint for a bit. Call upon the Angels of the Lord to surround you and protect you, ask Heavenly Father for direction and purpose, pray for your friends and neighbors that they will be watched over and protected. Then, when you are ready, put on your armor and grab your weapons and get back in there!
