~“Would You Settle for Happiness?”~

~Grandmothers Speak, January Message through Sharon McErlane~
I’d recently received emails predicting this and warning about that. So many that frankly, I was sick of them. I didn’t want more predictions, but decided I wouldn’t mind a little practical advice. So I went to the Grandmothers.
“Grandmothers,” I said, “we could use something useful and uplifting. The new year has started and people are wary of this year. 2012 and all that,” I said. “If you have a helpful message for us, would you please give it so I can send it out?”
The Grandmothers didn’t say anything at first, but instead showed me the bouquet I’d put together earlier that day. With yellow narcissus and other flowers from the garden, it had an autumnal glow and gracefully branched in all directions. I didn’t know why they were showing it to me and wondered if the bouquet had something to do with my question.
