Spoons

A very wonderful and wise person once told me when I was going through some tough days, (and we all have them) to be very frugal with my spoons...When I asked her what she meant, she said...Cathy, you are given 10 spoonfuls of energy a day.. thats it..when they are gone, you crash. Be very careful about the people and the thoughts you use your spoons on..10...only 10....a brilliant visual.
