as if to meet the moon."

"Sometimes we forget how magical it is just to wake up in the morning.
Take a breath.
Wriggle your toes, and open your droopy eyes.
Take a moment.
Be present.
Give gratitude first."

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a Jeep I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.”

The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.”

The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old Jeep.”

The father asked his daughter to go to a Jeep club now and show them the Jeep. The daughter then took the Jeep to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because “it's an iconic Jeep and sought by many collectors.”

Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you......Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.

During the lockdown when La Vaqueria closed I changed my settings to private, on my timeline, Su Derrick:friends only.
I am now going public again in the hope of building up a following of arty like minded people, perhaps becoming inspired or inspiring others with my art and shared posts of other artists.
Maybe learn some interesting new techniques and see works using different materials.
Feel free to add a post but remember that anyone can see it and anyone can read your comments but they cannot see your own timelines if you have your privacy settings at friends only.
Please follow me, like me, tag people, share and participate, I hope you enjoy the content and hopefully get inspired.
La Vaqueria Page will soon be closing so please follow me at Su Derrick instead ###
