While cleaning out our Mothers house this last year, my daughter pointed out this newspaper clipping that had been on our Mom's refrigerator for close to 30 years. It's discolored and wrinkled but still in very good shape. We wondered if she read it each day and reflected on the meaning of the saying or had she just gotten so use to it being there she didn't really notice it anymore.
Apparently at one time it meant enough to her to cut it out of the paper and post it on the refrigerator. Right? She's always been a worrier, just like the rest of the women in our family. We worry about things that haven't even happened yet. But trust. I've never doubted her trust. So, I'm guessing this was something she wanted to work on and by putting this large reminder where she could see it several times a day helped her reach her goal.
Posting sayings or goals around our home and work place is a very common practice now. However, 30 years ago I really don't recall it being that normal. So, for her to realize that it would help her, says a lot about her forward thinking and recognizing that she needed some guidance in this area of her life.
For some reason neither my daughter nor myself could toss this in the trash. I am now the holder of the saying and I will post it on my bulletin board to help me in this area of my life as well.
Thanks Mom!
