It's called, "Do One Thing Different."<br /><br />It talks about how simple action, using patterns we've already used to get unstuck in other situations, often can get us moving again. Same idea as yours here - just find something that needs doing and do it.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />ScottRick Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621981388013851089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-44605069366194479502009-11-06T18:52:55.000-07:002009-11-06T18:52:55.000-07:00Rick -- what a delightful post!!!

And how well it does, in spite of a month of cold rain, too.<br /><br />Thank you for noting these brave commrades.

"Start where you are" is a great lesson for all of us. Hope you don't mind if I quote you.

And I love your PV signature!<BR/><BR/>I was reading today in Jill Bolte Taylor's book, "I wondered how I could have spent so many years in this body, in this form of life, and never really understood that I was just visiting here." As in this was NOT who she was...her circumstances did not define her and she would continue to exist after her death. <BR/><BR/>I think we take things very seriously; I know I do. I tend to forget that I have many choices and options, most importantly what attitude I take. <BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings, and love,<BR/><BR/>O<BR/><BR/>xxooOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-28746424928621109412008-06-09T09:53:00.000-06:002008-06-09T09:53:00.000-06:00My lovely wife is so right!

We used to put a basket of pansies in the crabapple tree in our front yard, sitting it where the tree branched into two trunks about four feet off the ground. It would sometimes end up with snow inches deep in the basket, and the pansies shining faces sticking up in the snow.<BR/><BR/>Kate-- I have added a signature line to my personal email now: Rick Hamrick, PV<BR/><BR/>There's also a link to this post included for those willing to investigate further.Rick Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621981388013851089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-10671877680343057072008-06-07T17:50:00.000-06:002008-06-07T17:50:00.000-06:00Great post Rick...I really like your analogy here....Great post Rick...I really like your analogy here.

They do great in cold weather--even below freezing--and manage to hang on during hot weather, though some do better than others when the temperatures soar. But as far as I know, pansies rarely, if ever, complain about conditions.Julia Rogers Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158498554046146073noreply@blogger.com
