Sometimes I'm a big ol' sap.

As I clumsily plod along, finding my way,

motivation often arrives from the teeniest, most random occurrences.

I had an inspirational event last night as I grabbed a magazine to read before going to bed.

Gently sliding out from the pages for me to discover was this:

tiny wooden sign

I was delighted to have been given a sign telling me I'm on the right path!

A talisman reminding me to keep the faith!

A tiny random happening to make me take heed and grin! :)

-BUT-

Then my logical left brain reminded me that my friend brought an assortment of little objects for collage making, including these little wooden signs, when she was here for a studio day last Sunday.  Before she left, we cleaned up all the artistic clutter and put everything back in its place.

It's way too rational (and just.no.fun) to think that this token
was accidentally swept into the magazine

while we were cleaning. 

The very same magazine I just happened to pick up last night,
out of the zillions of magazines in my collection. 

I like to think it was a sign from above.

Corny?  Sure.  But it gets me through the day.
