Leave Well Enough Alone

How many times have I heard my mother say that in my lifetime? Too many to count and I still haven't learned the lesson. I took a perfectly good looking blog. Just HAD to change the header to a Christmas greeting and an hour later the results...a messed up blog that I can't even get back to it's original state b/c for some reason my old blog header won't fit anymore. How can that happen?!?! Sometimes I hate computers. (I think I mentioned that this month already.)

Lesson learned? You betcha! I am walking away from this thing right now. I'm not spending anymore time on it even if the fonts aren't what I want them to be; even if my blog header is fuzzy (because in my opinion it'sbbetter fuzzy than stretched, I think) and even if I want to cry. Why give up? Because sometimes you need to just "leave well enough alone!"

RE: Friends and Mother's Day

A friend gave me a REALLY, REALLY nice card today. My favorite one yet.

Front:
“As You Honor Your Mother”

Inside:
You’ll never forget
your mother’s face, the sound of her voice, the gentleness of her touch…they let you know you were loved.

You’ll never forget
the traditions she handed down, the things she stood for…they are her gift and your legacy.

You’ll never forget,
and you’ll always know that you honor her every day in how you live and who you are.

With Deepest Sympathy

She included a note stating that she was sure this weekend would be a difficult one for me, and that she was praying for me, etc. It was so nice. She felt really bad Sunday because she hadn’t had a chance to get a card in the mail but this one was worth the wait.
