The Bag

This has been an interesting exercise in patience, determination and a sustaining of a flagging belief in my ability to learn new things. I'm sure other people navigate Blogger without losing their sense of self or without becoming increasingly convinced of their own stupidity. But let me confess, I do not try new stuff because if I fail, I hear a voice in my head telling me with total honesty, "You can't do this, you are as thick as two planks." It's an old voice and a destructive one. I would have hoped to have silenced it by now but alas, it is also a resilient voice resistant to change. And I had wanted to post this picture on the previous blog because this is the bag I had bought. But that wasn't possible so here it is and I am a near total wreck.



This picture is a reminder to me of Hope; hope that I can make a difference, hope that I can learn new stuff and above all the hope that when things don't turn out the way I want, I can hope for a new outcome and not beat up on myself!

The handbag is lovely. And I'd like to see you put all those negative statements inside of it and snap it shut.

If you cannot do that because the handbag is too lovely, then you are too lovely to have the negative statements inside of you too.

This is not hard. You are not stupid. (Your parents must have been interesting!)

Where did you purchase the bag? It is lovely.
Knock off the blame talk!
Hope your weekend is going well. Tomorrow I'm doing some art and cancer thing. I might need your help posting the results!

I bought the bag at the auction so the money spent went to the school. I am happy and the school is $800-$900 better off, depending on the present exchange rate.
