Taking Chances
5x5 Unfinished frame
Just arrived this week:
25 5"x5" Unfinished frames
Hi!
When it comes to taking chances with my hard-earned cash, I'm kind of a
scaredy-cat.
I bet you've been burnt too!
Am I right?
Still, there are times when the prospect of getting something that
could be a game changer is worth the risk of getting a dud.
If you've ever ordered something online, you know the feeling of
cautious anticipation as you wait for your package to arrive.
You've read the reviews. You've read six pages of terms and conditions
and privacy policies, or at least skimmed over them before hitting the
submit button. (....please tell me I'm not the only one who does
this...)
You've tracked the package for days. And finally that box arrives, all
trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
You take a deep breath and open the box.....
Will it be broken or whole? Wrong size or perfect fit? Poor quality
materials or just as the seller represented it? Game-changer or dud?
I had several of both happen this year.
$3500 Professional Artist Institute MBA? -Serious game-changer!
$35 'Go to art-opening' dress that looked fabulous in the ad? -DUD!
$47 set of sign-painting brushes? Disappointing.
$100 lot of unfinished small frames......???
I'll let you know.
So this being Thanksgiving week, I am reminding myself not to grumble
over the duds but to give thanks for everything.
The MBA has already paid for itself twice over, the frames look good so
far, and I can always remake the dress into a backyard flag, stake it
into the ground using the brushes, and maybe attract a few hummingbirds
next spring.
In the meantime, I'll keep painting away and try my best to finish and
fill those small frames with plump and happy little birds.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
