Dream catcher!

My shirt is red tomato soup.

My pockets are green peas.

My blue jeans are grape popsicles.

My socks are cottage cheese.

I have vanilla ice cream shoes

with limp spaghetti bows.

I wish I could eat everything,

but then I'd have no clothes!

Thanks for visiting and have a colorful day!

How simple embroidery can teach us so much!

One day I was lying down in my mother’s lap as she was doing the embroidery. I asked her what she had in her mind for design, she told me "bunch of flowers". I laughed and said that it looked like a mess, with threads jumbling from here to there.

She smiled at me and said, it’s something to wait and watch.

Later, when the embroidery was done she told me to get up and have a look. I was amazed to see those flowers. They were such a mess and jumbled from lap and so planned and beautiful from top.

She told me that day, that’s how god plans our lives too. Sometimes when life feels so jumbled up...that time we need to remember this...God has a plan for my life and that is all I need to know.

It will not solve the problem but will give us the courage to face it!

It's called mindset!

Story that inspires me every time I am about to give up!

As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by a rope tied to their legs. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well", he said."when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. The powerful and gigantic creature has limited its present abilities by the limitations of its past.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life holding onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us refuse to attempt something new and challenging because of our so called MINDSET?

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt....
