Today is a van Gogh kind of day, so here's my favorite of his self-portraits (1887), on display at the Art Institute of Chicago. Those colors are not pumped up - this was Vincent being very bold, and intentionally responding to Seurat's pointillism in 'A Sunday on La Grande Jatte'. #vanGogh

Sadness may knock at your heart's door many times a day, like an uninvited guest seeking entry to your most soft space. But don’t let it make you miss joy's gentle knock—those precious moments come less often, and you must embrace them when they arrive.
