Be Better

---

That antique show…

Had some fun exhibits…the vintage pins…the cat collection…rings,rings, and more rings…but one place was unique…stood out above the rest…

An artist…jewelry maker extraordinaire …fantastical pieces presented in the most clever of ways…attached to each like a tag was a vintage photograph…

Entering her area was like stepping back in time…or like stepping into the beginning of the Wizard of Oz movie…everything black and white…swirly and whirly…gray and dusty…

There’s something about the vintage photograph…the story behind that face…those eyes…a sense of mystery…a piece of history…

Had a dream the other night…was standing in the middle of that jewelry display…everything the hue of an old time movie when all of a sudden a man walks through in full color…wearing a pink bunny suit covered in little square SpongeBobs…

And isn’t that kind of how life works?…take that Wizard of Oz past…combine it with our SpongeBob present and use what we’ve learned to grow and be better…

A better partner…a better parent…a better friend…a better neighbor…listening…caring…giving…helping…

Doing all we can to make the world…or Kansas or down there in the deep blue sea…a better place…

Let’s do it…I triple dog dare you…

And that husband of mine…agrees…
