There is a Christian hymn which goes something like this: "Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me".
That song and a documentary I watched last night were the inspiration behind this pair of ear-rings.
Two doves (goldtone lead-free pewter from the US) represent peace. The flower (pressed Czech glass) and the growing branch represent hope.
And though there is lots of strife, war, anger and hate polluting the world, we can always hope that peace will ultimately prevail.
At the very least, we can DO SOMETHING to help make our own little personal corner of our world a better place, right? That's what I personally believe anyway.
So from today, I resolve not to sarcastically say "you're welcome" to people who don't thank me for holding the door open to them. (Yeah, I can be a grumpy ole thing! Heh).
Small thing, but it's a start :))
Historical footnote: Today, 6th August, in 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on a city. Hiroshima was obliterated. A few days later, Nagasaki suffered the same fate. Let's hope something similar NEVER ever happens again. Let there be peace on earth. And let it begin with me.
OK, end of pontification. Promise :)

The "you're welcome" remark is so funny. I'ld love to do that sometime. =P
Hi Wildgoose! Me bad :) It just irks me so much that *some* people just *expect* common courtesies but don't extend the same themselves. That's what started the "you're welcome" remarks.
And now, with my beer belly and raging hormones, I can get quite snippy at times, which is baaaaad :)))
