I decided that my word for the year would be persistence. I thought about it for awhile. I knew with the coming of the year I wanted to make a theme instead of a resolution. So persistence seems to be very fitting for me. I need to be persistent working towards my dream. Most people fail because they give up to easily. They stop as soon as things get rough and are just about to happen. Not me! I will be persistent. And with my persistence I will succeed. I will be diligent in making my art. With the work will come reward. As in anything you can’t give up. So if you are thinking about it. Don’t do it. Don’t ever give up. Keep going after your dreams. And with that your dreams will eventually come true. Believe it!
Persistence
History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed.
They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.

Absolutely! and your arty bird is awesome! love how bright the colors are.
Oh Heather, your bird turned out Gorgeous! I love all the bright colors that you used. Hope all your goals come true this year!
this is a great word, good luck with it as it's not easy being persistent, I think. I can't believe you're a grandmother, to look at your youthful photo!
"Persistence" is a GREAT word for the new year! If I didn't already grab "Write" as my word, I'd have to come along with you on Persistence. Of course, the one I probably need most is "Discipline" hahahaha
I thoroughly approve of the lovely new year's birdie!
Persistently brilliant !
love this detail!
Hi Heather
What a glorious bird!!
Persistence is a terrific word. It can make a world of difference, in a year, in a life!
I like everything about this post. Well said and well done!!!
i love this heather!!!! so much detail, just stunning xx
Oh yeah...persistence is a GOOD word! One that I often lack and need reminded of now and again!
What a wonderful bird to remind you...so colourful and bright. I love the detail, just gorgeous.
Wishing you a persistent-full 2011 where you dreams become reality! :)
And of course you have Persevered, with 'Persistence'... LOL! God Bless you Heather. I am with you on that one too!! Hugs, Nene
Fabulous post, Heather. And a great word to take you through the New Year. Yes, we shall not give up! Keep going....I love your postive outlook.
And, I have so enjoyed meeting you as well this past year!
I love the bird, here. Beautiful green eyes! xxoo
Well said, Heather!
At age 21 I was a high-school drop-out & single mother of three, living on food stamps and AFDC. Now age 47, I have two degrees, ten years in civil service, a published romance novel, and a new art doll & folk art business. Oh--along the way I got a great hubby, a new daughter, and eight grandkids! :~)
The key thing is that as each dream comes true, set another goal, far enough away that you have to work HARD and suffer a little to get it.
Love the painting!
Hugs.
