It's the Little Things

These red orange mushrooms are about the size of a large pin head, the type quilters use to hold the layers of quilt together before quilting.

These mushrooms were growing out of the cracks in an asphalt driveway in the shade. I wonder how long it would take nature to take over what is man made if we all disappeared from the earth? Not so long I suspect. Notice all the moss and lichen growing on the asphalt. These little mushrooms were such a delight and so beautiful.

Then sometimes it's little things that get me down. I couldn't find the checkbook and my passport and it had me really upset. All I could think of was where in the heck did I put them with moving and traveling and all. Finally Gary located them in one of our filing boxes and all was well. Sometimes when things like that happen I begin to think what else will happen next.

It may seem like a bed of roses traveling and living in a motorhome but sometimes it's quite stressful with all the little details to keep track of and not having a home base. Then sometimes I get so excited at little things. Seeing the mushrooms in these photos here isn't as exciting as seeing them in person but I can remember how delighted I was at the time. I've got to remind myself to keep the mushrooms and the future in my mind instead of letting the stressful thoughts take hold. If I had my clay studio I'd work in there and all those negative thoughts would melt away. What about  you, do you ever get in a funk by little stressful things, or do thoughts sometimes get you down? Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
