I
often say it's the little things that make life worthwhile.The items in
this photo are no exception. The mug is a hand-made mug I got on
Kwajalein, which is a part of the Marshall Islands (google it!). I had a
chance to meet the woman that made it, which makes it even more
special. I also picked out another one for my Crafty Momma, made by the
same woman. In the back, from left to right, are a power valve off a
1979 MGB, a glass bug knick-knack, a name tag, and a souvenir button.
The valve is something my Handy Dad gave me while restoring his MG. The
bug my Crafty Momma gave to me when I had a particularly bad job.
Included in its box was a note that said "Don't let it make you
buggy!". I always remember this when I look at it and it's always a
good reminder. The name tag is from my first professional conference
that I went to has a EHS (Environmental, Health, & Safety)
Specialist for my company. And the button? The button was picked up
out of a bar in the French Quarter and pinned on me by a very dear
friend. Later on, he made a point to stick in my purse as I left Nola
saying "Don't forget your pin, it'll remind you of the best weekend
ever,". Sadly, I lost him in January but the button makes me smile when
I think of him. And it still does remind me of the best weekend
ever.
Remember - it's the little things...
