You’ve seen them, you might even have one. I’m sure if I dug through my cupboards, I’d find one, too…..a jar filled with wonderful buttons of color….some plastic, some bone, some shell, and on, and on. Your grandmother might have kept them in a jar. I wonder if she ever carefully picked one from the pile to mend a shirt or sweater. Or did she just collect them like a unique little art collage? I remember her spreading them out on the table and picking each one up gingerly. She’d turn them over, inspecting each little decorative piece. Those buttons never looked the same, all spread out. Collectively they were beautiful! Makes me think about our lives. Seperately, we can use our lives to mend and stand on our own but, collectively, we build collages of color and gain strength. Reach out to your friends today. Thank them for their strengths, help them with their weakenesses. Together we can make the changes for good! Be blessed today with Happy and Healthy, “Henry” moments! Love, Linda
