Before anyone calls PETA, give me a chance to explain. ( I love elephants & am passionate about animal welfare :) ) I was talking to a very close friend recently about all of the projects I needed to complete, the organizing I needed to do, etc.., & how overwhelming it all was.. and she said to me "How do you eat an elephant?" I, of course, gave her an eloquent "Huh?" and my friend then said "One bite at a time." The initial question was surprising enough that it stuck with me, and upon thinking about it, the message has really resonated with me.
So, in that spirit, I have completed another bite or two of my enormous elephant by finally getting a couple of our coffee cup cozies online. And remember, the next time you become overwhelmed, just ask yourself "How do you eat an elephant?" I hope you are all having a great day!!

There's an online Christian group I've been part of for years where we are trying to get control over clutter in our lives to have calm instead. Elephant bites are a big part of how many of us have done it.
ReplyDeleteLove the cozies, BTW.
What a great post, what a great saying/ question. Thank you. That's the exact slice of wisdom I needed right now.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm now following you in return. I found the joke about the elephant to be amusing and something to ponder the next time life weights me down with too many to-dos. Thanks for reminding us to bring things into perspective.
