what is wrong with this picture?

I could be a honing device for what is wrong with this picture. Every time I walk into the my living room, I immediately focus on what wrong. Then, I walk into the kitchen and zero in on what is wrong. Actually, I feel it. I can feel objects taking up space and feel its energy.

I have a picture in my mind. The picture is perfect. It is well painted, fresh, everything in its place, clean, smells nice, calm and quiet. It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Yep. I carry that picture with me all the time. Anytime I walk into the living room, I bring my picture out and compare it to the reality that I see in front of me.

Over 99.9% of the time, my pictures do not match. What I see in my mind’s vision is so perfect, so wonderful that I almost want to run away from reality and live in.

do you know why? Well, my mind has created a picture of what I want.  In fact, the mental image is always improving.  I realize that the reality will never match up to the mental image.  I always enhance my mental image.  It is where I am the artist. 

Interesting.  I love being the artist.
