Gifts are for giving.
--Ian and Sylvia Tyson

Many years ago, a young woman named Dorothy was very talented at china
painting. She painted tiny scenes on china dishes, the way people today
paint on
wood and Easter eggs.

Then Dorothy fell in love, got married, and decided she had no time to
paint. But as her children grew, they loved to stand at the china 
cabinet
and stare
at all her tiny pictures--each one seemed to hold its own special world.

Years passed and Dorothy's grandchildren also loved to stand and stare 
at

the paintings. Everybody loved her work. They wondered why she didn't
take
up
painting again, but she wouldn't say. Her love of painting seemed to be
locked away.

When we give up some talent of our own because we don't have time for 
it,
we
lock away part of ourselves. When we imprison our talents, we limit our
possibilities.
But when we make self-expression a natural part of our day, others can
gather around and enjoy the results. There is always room for our 
talents
because
they create worlds of their own.

Am I locking something away because I don't have the time?

         BILL K.
    HAVE A GREAT DAY!
