This card is a teapot Tuesday tickler headed out to a fellow teapotter. Today's focus is on the greener grass on our side of the fence and taking stock of what we have. What a great theme and reminder. I started the day thinking of all the great things I have in my life. I thought of my home and family, my freedoms and safety, my job, my health and my hairdresser. (After years of searching I finally have a great stylist who is close and even less expensive than any I've gone to for years, so yes, I counted that in too). In the end, I decided to focus on breath and remember that without that I couldn't enjoy all the other great things in my life. Thanks for this challenge. It resulted in an "attitude of gratitude" today.
Enjoy!

I was looking forward to seeing what you chise, Vicki. You had such a hard year, it's great that there are still so many things to be positive about. And I love this image.

I take your sentiment SO literally as I struggled to breathe all my life because of severe allergies. Immunology shots has had me breathing like a normal person for 5 years - so breathing IS a blessing. Love the simplicity of your image and colored beautifully - the 2 hits of coral with all the neutrals is so eye catching.

A great reminder to not take things, even the littlest things, for granted, and to count our many blessings! What a sweet image of a girl doing what we probably all did when we were young - taking a moment to blow the seeds from a dandelion. Very lovely card; thanks for sharing.

Love this little girl blowing her dandelion (remember when you could do that without having to think about all the new dandelions that are going to grow and mess up your yard). Wonderful thought behind this card.
Thank you for the reminder to value every breath we take - and I'm taking it literally and figuratively. Having raised two kids with asthma, I know just how precious it is to just hear them breathe normally. Love this wonderfully colored image of a girl with windblown hair scattering dandelion seeds - it is perfect for the sentiment!

Oh, this is great. Loved reading your write up. I forgot how wonderful my hairdresser is. Glad you have found someone good. I love your focus on just breathe! Your image is so sweet and beautifully colored!
