Another Pierre-Auguste Renoir quote for the weekend. Did you realize that Renoir and Claude Monet were good friends? Matter of fact Renoir is quoted as saying (regarding Monet)…

 Without him I would have given up.

 ~Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Can you imagine if Renoir would have given up? Eek… Be a friend, mentor someone, let people know the good things they do so they keep on doing them!

Work lovingly done is the secret of all order and all happiness.

~Pierre-Auguste Renoir

This painting makes me smile. My mom and dad sent me a birthday card last year with this image on the front and the sweetest words on the inside of the card. Pierre-Auguste Renoir was talented and boy did he ever paint! Even in his later years when arthritis and rheumatism caused him such pain, he used bandages to secure paintbrushes to his severely deformed hands. Now THAT is dedication…

So dedicate yourself to doing what makes you smile… catch you back here tomorrow!
