Simplicity

Washington State Seal

Washington State became the 42nd State in our nation on November 11th, 1889. When this happened they put out a contest to have a new state seal created. Many artisans spent many months creating new and unique ideas for the state seal. One local craftsman on the last day of the contest took his inkwell and drew a circle, then took a silver dollar and drew another circle inside that. Between the two lines he wrote "The Seal of The State of Washington 1889" and then he took a two cent stamp and stuck it in the middle circle and submitted his product to be judged, he won.

Sometimes keeping it simple is the best bet. I am finding that with my limited energy and mobility sometimes I need to just accept the simple and stop trying to do it all.

Sounds easy but after a lifetime of pushing the limits of my physical and emotional self it's a hard change to make.
