A Thought From My Grandma

I've recently been in a scanning frenzy, scanning every photo I can get my hands on, in order to preserve the memories. Tonight my little project brought me to a book about my grandma's life. It has been 10 years since her passing, but it seems like just yesterday this infectious smile brightened my life....


I loved looking through Grandma's book and remembering all of her wonderfulness. I particularly liked this quote, in her own handwriting....



"Don't make a big deal of every little challenge that comes along. There are tough days and good days - on the good days I live, on the tough days I learn
."
