It's a refreshing reminder. I've got a lot of things on my mind I can't seem to figure everything out, but I will remember to enjoy intead of just worrying.

i found this poem about 20 years ago framed at a craft fair in lake tahoe. it says "author unknown"
i think of it when a lot of unpleasant things are going on that i can't control. i hope it helps other people get perspective too instead of getting overwhelmed + gloomy.

I was feeling overwhelmed today, and you gave a good reminder.

danielle: it's a talking clock by lifepod. i got one a couple years ago online. you whack it + it says the time. i don't think lifepod make these any more. it was lifepod.org or .com

That is sooo true! It's easy to get caught up in feeling bad when I can't have everything go my way. Then I miss out on the good stuff going on. I'm going to memorize this!

MM- This reduced me to a blithering blob. Thanks for the reminder. XO

The poem comes from an entire book by Clyde Reid...(entitled Celebrate the Temporary)
I found the book about 15 years ago when in college and have used the phrase "Celebrate the Temporary" as my mantra throughout life...it really helps.

Seriously as nice as this is, read the book because it really explains each item and is a very powerful life changing book.
