Talent

Erma Bombeck is one of my favorites.

Childhood

Long before seat belts, car seats or the thought of how many passengers could ride in a car, or where we would joyfully and literally all pile into the stationwagon.  Highways were mostly two lane sheets of pavement.  The whole world was before us.  There was such excitement on simply going for a ride.  

Fantasy

Let me see, this reminds me of, Mary Poppins and also ET. What a gift our imagination is. If we can imagine it, it can be.  

Gifts from the Heart

This week we celebrated Valentine's Day. For a moment in time we all celebrated loving and being loved.  Universally we all want to be loved and to love.  I so enjoy it because of all the handcrafts I see. Actually the chocolate and the flowers are nice too.  

Saying it with Handmade

With Valentine's Day getting near, we think of love, kindness, chocolates. I think of all the wonderful handmade gifts I have received.  My favorite were I think the hand drawn cards that Tiffany and Suki made for me when they were little.

Thinking warmer weather

It seems every year in Colorado about this time of year Spring weather peeks in the door.  Snow and winter weather is fun, to a point.  This Spring peek gets me thinking how nice it will be to have warm weather and flowers again.  But not to be fooled, I must enjoy my sweaters and warm coats, hot chocolate...  Ah, winter isn't that bad.  Think I will go have some hot chocolate and MARSHMALLOWS! 

Optimism

We are all bombarded , from the moment we open our eyes to when we close them, with awful things  happening around us.  Then we see images of such beauty and grace that we can't believe what we have in front of us.  I get angry when so many  bad things are happening. I feel quite helpless in making any significant contribution. But I can be my own light and add it to all that is good.  I can do this by sharing my smile and kindness.

Smiles

One of the most fun and universal form of communication is a smile or laughter. We are bombarded with such distressing images. Smile today and you and those who receive your smile will feel better.

Adapting

Life gives us lots of challenges. Adapting is critical to survive. This business not only adapted but
I would guess thrived. Who would not want to peek inside. I think I would almost expect crooked
people inside.  Was it the Mother Goose rhyme about a little crooked man?
