Encouraging Words

Sometimes a week is so uncomfortable that all you want from it is to have it behind you. I just had a week like that. Most of the trouble was in my head. Lots of worry and lots of fear about a situation I cannot control. Then I remembered this poem. I first heard it as a teenager in the 70s and like most of my friends took it to heart. I shared the poem with my friend Janet Carr and she created this wonderful layout for me using it! (Click on it to see a larger picture.)




I was so touched by her thoughtfulness and also very impressed with the layout and the kit "Watercolours" that she used from Jen Martakis at 2 Peas in a Bucket.



This was not a week that lent itself to much creative expression, and the coming week will be much the same. So I am extra glad to be able to 'borrow' this sweet layout by Janet to share this week. Sometimes encouraging words can make all the difference, especially when served up so nicely. Thank you Janet!!!
