Day 171 of Photos Inspirations — To Nana From Lexi
\nReturning home after a week away, I went to my desk and found this envelope with big letters: QUOTES — OPEN AFTER Nationals — To Nana From Lexi.<\/p>\n

She had been here for a couple of days before heading to Nationals in MN.  She loves to hang out in my office where a lot of her creativity takes place. Usually she’s drawing or working on paper creations.  When I had an electric typewriter (back in the day), she loved to create on it.  Those days are long gone with the leading edge technologies that have changed our world.  But I was quite impressed with what she did with pen and paper.  I found that she had taken the time to write quite inspiring quotes, as well as some with her “Life with Lexi” humor. <\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Inside the envelope were a couple dozen handwritten notes and quotes.  For example:
\n“I love you because you join in my weirdness.”
\n“What if I fall?”  “Oh, but my Darling, what if you fly?”
\n“Sometimes you win; sometimes you learn.”
\n“You will never know the vaue of a moment until it becomes a memory.”
\n“You’re too blessed to be stressed.”
\n“The earth has music for those who listen.” — Shakespeare
\n“It’s not who you are that holds you back, but who you think you’re not.”
\nAnd, a PERFECT “Life with Lexi” one…..
\n“How does NASA organize a party?”  “They PLANET!”  AhAhAhAh!!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I called her to ask where the quotes came from: “From my Pinterest page.”  Oh me.  My 13-year old granddaughter does Pinterest — something I haven’t wrapped my brain around yet.  And she continues to urge me to get more involved in Instagram.  I’m still working on mastering Facebook, but I’m teachable — Instagram will soon be another social media app that I’ll adapt to.<\/p>\n

And, finally, I asked her “Why did you take the time to write all this by hand,  put it in an envelope, and didn’t want me to open it until we got back home?”  Her response….”Because I knew you would take a picture of it, post it and write a story about it.”  Smart AND hilarious girl.  And, so, here’s my post, and perhaps, there’s something in those quotes that speaks to your heart today.  Just maybe Lexi did this for me AND you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
