Portrait Painting: A great way to preserve and cherish those precious memories.

A memory is something that lasts an entirety. 

It’s the pages in the scrapbook of our life.

We all know that the more colorful the pages, the better the scrapbook.

Good memories give us hope, and a bad experience makes us ponder upon thus making our life more valuable.

“Memories are special moments that tell our story.”

They liven up our life and existence, but Alas! Everything shall fade away some day with time. 

Thus it is in your best interest you choose a way to preserve and cherish these moments for an extended period.

A personalized portrait painting is a perfect way to capture the true essence and importance of memory.

A picture can serve as a great reminder too, but the visual appeal and creativity that is required for the painting will make it even more special.

It adds another layer of ethnicity to it. Apart from the stunning appeal it also has a close connection with your heart.

This is because you have lived that moment in its entire glory.

Every time you see the portrait painting, it shall transport you back to that time and place and bring an immeasurable smile to your face.

The people and time we appreciate the most should always have a special place in our hearts.

Getting a customized painted portrait is one of the best ways to remind you about those moments.

Let the colors flow free and leave an everlasting impression on the canvas because paints are only the medium and memories are the real emotions behind them.

You can get your very own customized portrait painting at Portrait flip.

They offer you a wide variety of choices with mediums which are a charcoal portrait, handmade oil portrait, watercolor portrait, acrylic portrait, pencil sketch portrait, and color pencil sketch portrait.

All of them are available to you at economical prices.

The meaningful relationships and moments you have had over time make life worth it all.

No regrets for though there may have been times when you could have done or acted better, you have had your fair share of awesome moments.

A moment or a picture may get lost into oblivion but not a moment that left us with a golden memory.

 That moment is dear to our heart and will forever be with us.

A portrait painting is, in fact, a great way to relive these memories with glory and enthusiasm and some nostalgia.

The time once gone and the stone once thrown can never return, what only stays is what we remember and how we want to remember it.

The most important thing we can gain from cherishing such memories is hope and faith.

Faith that no matter what happens there are always better times and good people to stand by your side.

It is an essential reminder to ourselves that we should remain confident and excited at every stage of our life.

There comes the point in every person’s life when he/she doubts the purpose behind his or her existence.

They doubt the fact whether something good or better will ever happen?

At such times a unique portrait painting of a moment dear to you shall provide and lend the perfect support to you.

“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.”

                                      -Pablo Picasso

Time may fly but the memories last forever!

Love to Let Go!

Sarah aimed her long stem glass at him, but instead, it hit the floor crashing into multiple pieces. 

She could see her slivered heart in each of those broken fragments as she wept uncontrollably. 

He looked from a distance but dared not to come near.

Minutes ticked by, which seemed endless to both.

“Go, Live your way!” 

“Thank you” he squealed and exited the room with a flying kiss at her. 

 ‘Love is to Let Go!’ Sarah muttered as she wiped her tears and got up to clean the mess while her beau traveled continents to live his passion.

"Take these! Don't need them, now!" Maggie offered to return a pair of earrings to her friend, Pam. 

"Are you kidding me! Wear them. These suit you more than when on me!" Pam commanded and pushed her hand away.

Hesitant Maggie kept it back but was still very reluctant. 

Days turned into a week.

One fine morning Pam got the news of Maggie's demise.

Devastated Pam could not digest the news. 

She pondered, 'Maggie offered to return my jewelry. I should have inquired the reason rather than brushing it off quickly.' she sobbed silently, 'Could have said my Goodbye.'

Wanderlust

Travel is defined as moving predictably. 

When a man decides to go on an excursion, he plans out every minute detail such as which hotel, car rental, which places to tour, and if possible even purchase the tickets of a tour or an expedition if it gets sold out quickly. 

Time is not a factor since the To-Do list is put on hold and we can practically watch the sunrise and the sunset. Time our breakfast, lunch, and dinner all according to our needs and wants. However, what memories we collect from such travel is not in our hands even if minute details have been taken care of! 

Any trip can be an eye-opener cause they always tend to teach us something in the end.

Man Proposes, God Disposes === Aldous Huxley 

I remember making this road trip to India when I was a teenager. We were taking an excursion towards Jaipur, a city in Rajasthan.

We had rented a car and hired a driver. While he was driving the car, my family was sitting and enjoying the ride and the sights around the town.

It was a hot summer afternoon, and Rajasthan is known for its' high temperatures cause of the desert. However, we had our windows rolled up, and the air conditioner was on, with music in the background.

I was in the back seat near the window, enjoying the music and feeling relaxed with the fresh air surrounding me.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and my reflexes were sharp enough to turn and hide my face. A person had thrown a stone towards our car, and it hit my window. The shattered glass was all around me. Our driver was quick enough to screech his brakes on time, to avoid a mishap on the road.

He was quick to take an exit to the nearest hospital while I lay still since did not want any of the glass to penetrate further into the skin. That moment, while he was driving, I could feel the warm air blowing through that open window, and felt the changes in temperature and how my body was laying there vulnerable to the circumstance.

No man has control over mishaps. One moment I was enjoying the cool temperature, rustic sighting, majestic architecture with fond company, and the second moment the same body was exposed to brittles, was tensed, mind became restless and agitated. 

 Although we try hard to make our trips memorable and fun, no journey is perfect.

Thank God, my wounds were not harsh, and I recovered in no time. We toured the city. No doubt the city was still the same old but my perception had changed as I was cautious all the time. 

Returned Home with Memories.

====================

Clap your Hands!

The learned have taught us and shall continue to preach, "Happiness is a state of mind!" 

I am happy when things go my way, however; the situations are usually never in our hand. 

Man proposes God disposes. 

We want to turn left at a certain junction, but life throws lemons, apples, and oranges at us. 

We pause. 

We are dejected, and we turn right instead. 

No doubt that path is so gloomy since it was not our decision. But, to embrace the situation is considered wise.

So be it! 

We stretch those muscles around our lips and force a smile. The society terms it happiness! 

A smile is happiness you'll find right under your nose. Tom Wilson

The peer pressure is such that we live under makes us embrace what the society tags us as. Some cases it is in our favor, however; most of the cases it is not. After a couple of chokes, we ingest the problem and try to carry on. Alas! the situation has still got us constipated. 

But, man is so resilient that he continues to row his boat even though the muscles ache, the oars have cracked up. 

'Giving up' should never be in thy dictionary since each breath is precious.  To be gifted a human machine is an out-of-the-world experience, being mindful of what comes our way allows us to use the intellect. 

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” 

― Mahatma Gandhi

This intelligence if used can help us cement the cracks that have developed due to some failures, ruptures or inadequacies. 

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. T. S. Eliot

To learn to take a U-turn or pause at any junction just shows how adequate you are to bear upon the challenges. No doubt when that event turns in your favor..happiness becomes unlimited. 

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” 

― Dalai Lama XIV

 It's the feeling like touching the Mars and coming back without paying a single dollar from your hard earned money.

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” 

― Abraham Lincoln

Next time an adversity comes your way; clap your hands. I will assure you with the clap will come a solution! 

A Turn of Event!

"I hate my life!" Jaya kept growling with anger teary-eyed as she walked with stern steps towards a mid-sized wall that faced the ocean.

She climbed the wall and eyed her home with a sulk; then looked towards the ocean.

"I do not belong here!" she closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath to take the plunge. 

Just then her face got wet by the sea mist. That made her freeze on her drastic step.

She was in tears.

Again!

This time for good since memories of Love, Care, Play and Laughter with family changed her mind.
