Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a wonderful comment. I may have to see if I can find some vases like yours or have a go at making my own. I saw a very clever article the other day about using a hot glue gun to write words on a vase, so that when you painted over it you could see the words clearly on the side. This might be the perfect way to try it out. So thank you :)<br />Josshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326304210756061011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765179511723604771.post-1904743150687929672013-10-12T16:22:06.188-07:002013-10-12T16:22:06.188-07:00awww thank you so much.

I'm glad you can live to enjoy the good things in life, focusing on the positive. <br /><br />I have three tiny vases with similar statements to your badge at the right, each one having one statement: Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much. I love those vases, which I keep at work. They remind me how we should be living life. :) <br /><br />Wishing you many positive days and productive days! <a href="http://nancylarondajohnson.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Writer’s Mark</a>Chancelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880082145266359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765179511723604771.post-80456689276002809292013-10-12T09:02:47.721-07:002013-10-12T09:02:47.721-07:00Wonderful and thought-provoking post!

So brave and a good role model for your son. It's the little things that do matter like watching the squirrel.

I've had three slipped disks and my husband has a degenerative back disease and a giant Frankenstein scar down his back where they operated to try to sand down the bones that are over-calcified and rubbing together. You're right, having a pity party doesn't help. Everyone gets old and things start falling apart and hurting more daily. Take courage from the little squirrel (I love squirrels!!) and try to adapt and look for the good things in life. Wishing you happiness wherever you can find it. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765179511723604771.post-33494964563975017482013-10-11T12:21:27.852-07:002013-10-11T12:21:27.852-07:00It's so inspiring the way you don't let yo...It's so inspiring the way you don't let your problems get you down, we all need to learn to think more positively, it can do wonders.
