Project 366...
Oct. 8th, 2008 04:31 pmLet me say up front that it is not the quality of the workmanship that made me choose today's photo of the day (although I think it's pretty good considering the limited resources the kids have available to them), but rather it is the spirit embodied in the very recognizable symbol of autumn. It is confusing that fall is a time to use a symbol of plenty. Produce seems more abundant during summer, but who am I to argue? ;)
At any rate, the season fast approaches during which we try to find time to appreciate what we have. Gratitude is a lot better than whining about what we don't have. I don't know about you, but I don't lack for much of anything. Life's accoutrements around here may not be top of the line, but so far (except for another headlight and the AC in my car) everything still meets my needs. No one in the family is burdened with major financial woes (been there; done that; have the t-shirt) or terminal illnesses (also been there). We manage to get where we need (and most of the time want) to go; fulfill responsibilities; stay warm or cool and dry; fill our stomachs; sleep in a bed. Honestly, what more could a body ask for?
