I have recently had the pleasure of crossing paths with an Artist whose very work touched my soul. Intrigued me, and I think I looked at each one of her drawings for quit sometime before going on to her profile.Robyn Ryan is an amazing artist living in Claremont Minnesota. Her Etsy Shop is a beautiful sight. There's something for everyone! Her drawings are phenomenal and that this is one of the drawings I purchased from her. Her jewelry is gorgeous as well.Her up-cycled Brooches have been restored to new,this is my favorite.That's not all she also has some vintage items. So what are you waiting for? Grab your coffee and get shopping.And Please remember to tell her Tam sent you when you place your order.Have a great Weekend my friends!

POOR PEOPLE ?
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was the trip?'
'It was great, Dad.'
'Did you see how poor people live?' the father asked.
'Oh yeah,' said the son.
'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father.
The son answered:
'I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.'
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.'
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
'Life is too short and friends are too few.'
