Splattering Paint

Today, Renee and I were making our T-shirts for Team YES to wear when we help out at the little kid swim meets. We have found that the more stand-outness of the shirts we wear, the easier it is for the youngins to find us (especially at the 8 and under meets). Last year our t-shirts were tie-dyed, this year... paint splattered.

As I was standing out on the drive the gorgeous day splattering paint all over my black t-shirt canvas, I realized how much splattering paint is like life.

I'm sure you are just dying to hear this correlation, yeah?

My t-shirt had 8 different paints splattered onto it:
1. bright orange
2. light orange
3. blue
4. glow in the dark pink
5. regular paink
6. purple
7. yellow
8. lime green

Just like in my life, I have 8 things that are very important to me:
1. Friends
2. Family
3. Camp Cho-Yeh
4. Cornerstone
5. School
6. Swimming (and my little swimming sisters)
7. Relay for Life
8. Ready, Set, Teach

On my t-shirt, these colors all came together to make something beautiful (my t-shirt). Just like in my life, all of these things combine to make something absolutely wonderful: my crazy, busy, sometimes chaotic, slightly hectic life.

What a cool analogy. Glad we made your top 8!
