Small Things


"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
-- Mother Teresa

I have so much to be thankful for in my life!  I have a stable job that I love.  I live in a nice apartment and drive a reliable car.  My family and friends are a constant source of encouragement and strength.  I've been told that I'm "beautiful and smart".  (I don't talk to him anymore, but like to remember his compliment.  Although I question his sincerity, I draw confidence from it.)  I can whip up a fabulous meal.  My latest artistic endeavor is quilting.  I love that I can produce art that is useful and enjoy giving them away.

But, sometimes I take what I have for granted and spend more time longing for what I don't have.  I've started this blog to help me keep things in perspective.

  1. What a great idea! I like positive thinkers. Our thoughts are so powerful yet they are just thoughts and not necessarily our reality.
