Grandmotherly Advice

"Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be."
-- Grandma Moses

***

Grandma Moses did not begin painting until late in her life. Having lived on a farm all of her life, she took up painting when the manual labor of the farm life became too difficult for her. She held her first exhibition was she was 78 years old. Her first paintings sold for $2 to $3. In 2006, Grandma Moses’ Sugaring Off portrait sold for $1.2 million. Grandma Moses died at the age of 101 in 1961

Grandma Moses is right; "Life is what we make of it." It does not matter if you are young or old, for age can only be defined by a number; whereas, life is defined solely by what you put into it. Take heed of the example set by Grandma Moses: it is never too late to fulfill your potential. Remember the potential is there, it always has been, it is just up to you to grasp it!

Happy Birthday! Anna Mary Robertson (Grandma Moses)
