Old Dog

Today, DD taught me something about persistence and positive attitude. I was in a tear, as usual, about participating in an art program sponsored by the library. So, in an effort to model good behavior, I decided to stop moaning about it and DO SOMETHING. So, I contacted the museum, and they were so helpful, as was the children's librarian to whom they referred me. I was able to sign DD up for the class and tonight she made her very own illuminated manuscript. If I were more technical (and less tired), I would post pics. She remained her happy, upbeat self throughout and told me she knew we'd be able to do art.

It's so funny (as in oh dear) how this type of thing consumes my life. It's so trivial and yet it becomes so important to me. I'd like to focus less on the small stuff and get back to the big picture, which is learning about the world and having a good time doing it. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? I sure hope so.
