Once in awhile I get a little down...not selling enough cards, no one is buying my stuff on Etsy...you know. And then I'll see or read a story that puts me in my place. This morning on CBS Sunday Morning...a favorite of mine...they had two VERY meaningful stories. The first was about a young man who lost all four of his limbs in Afghanistan...both his arms and both his legs...can you even begin to imagine?...and yet he's happy to have survived, is seemingly pretty positive and looking forward to living a full life. The other was about a family who puts out about 1500 American flags at six cemetaries near them for Memorial Day. It's been a tradition in their family since World War II!!! And what did I get from that? (1) To shut my mouth and quit complaning about my miniscule problems, and (2) that I need to do more to help others.
My picture for today is my backyard art. I love how it looks in the weeds...and now I need to go out and mow those weeds.
