“A Joy that’s shared is a Joy made double”
~Proverb~
Happy, Happy Monday Loves! I sincerely hope you all had a FANTABULOUS weekend and that today brings you just as much joy! While I didn’t wake up feeling so cheerful this morning (after fighting with my editing software amongst other things) it didn’t take long for me to shake myself as I imagined the voice of my grandmother sternly saying “Any day you’re on this side of the dirt it is a really great day!” LOL
Mother (what we all called her) was so wise it’s like she had a saying for everything no matter the topic! LOL Man oh man do I miss those little nuggets she would drop on me from time to time. While I think of her often this weekend I felt her presence more than ever as I struggled through a couple of tasks I was trying to complete for my business and my blog. I remember how she always encouraged us to think big and to work hard! For Mother it didn’t matter if you fell because she would always be there to help us get back up but what she didn’t tolerate was her babies giving up or never trying at all.
So as I moaned, complained and walked out of my studio several times, determined to throw in the towel; I saw her face and heard her voice, knowing she would not be pleased with me! Consequently I struggled through until late in the evening when all of a sudden the lightbulb went off and I figured it all out! SHEESH! It was at that very moment as sure as I was sitting there I could imagine her face as she smiled saying “Now look who made it through to the other side.” LOLL
Why am I sharing this with all of you, you might ask? Well it’s really quite simple family! I just wanted to encourage you as Mother so often encouraged me! She would always say “I can only give you what I got” and right now what I got is this hug and a little bit of information to take with you along the way. So family that’s what I’m giving you! This virtual hug and some information to take with you along the way! Remember no matter how big or difficult things may seem in your own mind, anything worth having is worth the effort it will take to get it! With that being said here’s one of the things I was able to check off my list the DIY/Tutorial of the Hot Pink Dress I shared on the blog last week. I hope you enjoy the video and the virtual hugs!! LOL
Hugs
