My community has a neighborhood newsletter
that's delivered every morning to my inbox.
It's filled with trivia about the particular day, or
something special about our town,
or it's residents, past and present.
Neighbors may post things they are selling, giving away,
services they want to recommend, or are in search of.
One of my kind neighbors was offering dozens
of bare wood plaques along with some wood boxes.
Although I wasn't the first to respond,
I was the only one that showed up.
That's a metaphor for life isn't it?
The people most likely to succeed are the people that show up!
I need to remind myself of this incident and be ready to
show up when opportunity arises.
Fortunately for me, she gave me everything
she had. She said she was going to throw it all in
the green barrel (plant recycle) but decided
to see if anyone could use it first.
I was truly grateful and expressed my appreciation to her.

I only spent about an hour on the following
piece. It was an early Christmas present for me.
I was so excited to make something, . . . anything!
I decided to make the subject one
of my "life verses".
I'll probably go back in and do some more
work on it (after the holidays), but here it is so far.
