this so puts things into light. we shouldn't live in the past, and we can't worry about the future, but we can live for today, which truly is a gift, and that's why we call it the present, it is a present the gift.....what a wonderful present this was......thank you sharon....... this came in the mail today

just because gifts

sharon loves to treasure hunt, and these items fall in her "just because gifts.", she is the best just because finder i know. where did she find this silver etched metal from Argentina, or did it find her.....and the fortune telling birthday book wrapped so beautifully with the little boutique of flowers, and the wonderful quote by Eleanor Roosevelt....

just because from argentina

another view of my treasure, from argentina thank you sharon....

row row row your boat

reading one of my favorite blogs today, one that renews and reminds me of my spiritual path, i want to share it with you. see www.ornamental.typepad.com by nina bagley. i met nina at the artfest about 3 years ago. she is a teacher of journals and is renowned jewelry designer. in one of her classes at art and soul the entire class sang row row row your boat...the childhood song carries a deep message we all need to remember. and if you are ever feeling you are falling off the boat, click on her blog, there is not a moment in life she does not cherish.
