Making do with a little has become a way of life for our family. Its funny how that little kid who wants stuff stays alive inside of us. I want stuff as much as the next guy - it's just that I usually don't have enough in my wallet to get it. The blessing tucked into this "problem" is that I have had to become a maker of things to fill in the gap where desire meets the empty pocket book. Picasso said that artists are just poor people creating the art collection they desperately want but cannot afford. In Picasso's case his poverty was short lived - and yet he continued to make things his entire long, and bumpy life. It is my plan to do the same.
