already better + a new theory

Already better


If you spend any time with me personally, then you may hear me say "I have a new theory". Sean hears this all the time. And a new theory always presents itself in a moment of clarity.
I’m so happy to say that clarity has returned. I’m already feeling better again and while I know in my heart of hearts that everything is always working out for the best, it was really nice to be reminded of that by so many of you who left comments ~ thanks for reminding me. The mental break I’ve given myself from figuring out what’s next has been especially nice and I’m honestly looking forward to the next "door that will open". I’m excited to see what it will be!

So my new theory is this ~ if you’re feeling disappointed the best way out and back to hopeful optimism is to throw a 4 course Italian dinner party for your friends! It’s true ~ Just the simple act of making your home beautiful, inviting and cozy for your guests is enough to appreciate how wonderful life already is.  That and~ cooking and enjoying a delicious meal and sharing it with good company all accompanied by red wine of course and you will be well on your way to a brighter spirit. Oooh and I can’t forget having a delightful breakfast with a new friend also helps, as does cooking the Spaghetti Lunghi found at Trader Joes, I mean, excuse me Trader Giottos. Have you seen this crazy long spaghetti there? You can’t miss the bright yellow packaging. I’m sorry but eating super long spaghetti noodles is just good fun.

Aww, I love this theory! Of course, I'll have to experiment to see if you're right...
oooo I will have to try that spaghetti. My kid's theory? "The longer the spaghetti, the more there is to slurp, the better."

Patiently waiting for your "next door to open." I just know it will be something great.
Dear Marisa... It's good to know that your clarity has returned! I understand you perfectly. Oh, we have so much in common.
I'd like to say that read your blog brought lots of inspiration and clarity to my life! I really love it! Thank you. I didn't wrote you before because my english is not so good, but finnaly I felt encouraged...
Now you know you have a brazillian fan!
Marisa,

I can see from your artwork and reading your blog, you have a wonderful personality and a talent for painting. You will surely have many wonderful opportunities come your way.
I wish creative fun throughout your journey.

I feel the let down with you...although I just know this is all part of the growing process, and that something else will just come your way. Good for you for having a social interuption...great way to get out of you head, and into the world again. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you're feeling better, Marisa! Having friends over always helps, as does spaghetti :)
onward and upward : ) Glad your feeling better.
I'm so happy that you're feeling better Marisa. There's nothing like good friends and food and wine to lift one's spirits.

Oh, Marisa! I just love this theory (and the attached picture is quite beautiful, too, I might add). There can never be too many theories for overcoming disappointment as it is something everyone experiences all the time. I'd never considered a dinner party, but it's a great idea.xox
