Living a proverb

Maybe someday I will get back into creative mode.

For now, I am reflective. Uncertainty and change often leads one to re-examine life priorities.

Many have heard this famous quote:

I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes —
until I met a man who had no feet.
~ Jewish Proverb

My daughter recently found a young man on you-tube who takes this proverb to a new dimension. I watched with tears -- how much I take for granted!

Nick Vujicic is a remarkable young man; his unconquerable spirit breathes courage and renewed determination into his listeners. I hope you are uplifted.



Want more? Visit Nick's website or search you-tube for more videos.

When I do pick up my paper quilling tools again, it will be with renewed appreciation for fully functioning fingers...or ANY fingers, regardless of functionality...and a determination not to whine about adversity of any kind.
