Mysteria, I was feeling a bit lady buggy in the Corner Pub earlier and I do hope that none of the ladies over there got too upset. Smiles. Ants certainly are buisy creatures. Enjoyed your poem. -Bob |

Some may watch the birds; others shall smell roses... you allow the ants to crawl over your pedicured toeses...  it's always a good thing to allow the little things into your day... enjoyed this, Sharon. |

Well some might think having too much time on their hands is a bad thing, but not moi! It's the little things in life that are the most pleasing. I learned a lot that day from one ant. Thanks for reading. |

It's one of the things I admire most about you--your industrious "can do" attitude, and I confess, sometimes I think about you and feel inadequate... and fortunately for me, another fabulous trait of yours is that nothing, not no one is inadequate! You look a life with the wonder of a child, m'friend. (and this is not a stupid story!)  |

Yup, ants are kewl teachers.  No one is inadequate, they just need a passion, a reason, an idea, some thinking space, or simply just to be asked asked to be part of another's own quest, and presto - you have the most useful person around right?K? I grew up on things like: - You can do anything you put your mind to - Carpe Diem - The only thing holding you back is you - Fear is the only thing between you and success - How you treat others is how you will be treated. - Treat today like it is your last, and the famous... - Always kiss or hug those that mean the most to you as it may be your last chance ~ and so on, and so on. My mother and grandmother were both great at shouting out those things all the time as positive reinforcement I think. (To us it was torture!) However, I naturally shouted them to Todd and thank God it seemed to have worked. He hugs me every single time he leaves and I love it!You know while I have this soapbox the greatest thing for me to actually see is someone who thought they couldn't, or never could actually feel how good could can really feel! I feel like talking to myself today like Doreen, so I will leave with my all-time favorite saying to my son ... "Remember that story of the grasshopper and the ant I told you?" I would say, and he would nod. Then, I would say, "Well you better darn well be that ant!" He got the message. |
