In a recent magazine about music, I stumbled upon a quote that took me completely by surprise.  I don’t know to whom the quote should be attributed, but rather than moaning in agreement, it made me laugh out loud.   I have no clue why this little quote touches my giggle center the way it does, but I still laugh out loud every time I read it. 

“It’s the heart of being an ‘artist.’  When skies are blue, they are really blue;  and when they are gray . . . well, Van Gogh cut off his own ear.”

Maybe it’s a reminder that my skies are never really as gray as I might imagine, ’cause, well, both of my ears are still intact.
