Here’s the cover from this year’s calendar – 2023:
How do you greet each new day? How do you stay present, in the moment? As we go through life, it’s ‘nothing special’ to live a new day. But, it’s close to a miracle that the sun rises every day, and we wake up with it, having the chance to see a new day makes us feel really lucky. We can have gratitude for the fact that we are here to appreciate the gift that each day is.
Here are some quotes to inspire your artwork:
