Attitude of Gratitude: Day 48

Ah, this close to the end of my challenge, I hestitate to go with something so light-hearted and silly. But I'm doing it anyway. Truly, the point of this challenge was to remind myself that the little things in our daily existence have the power to infuse our lives with joy. So long as we stop to acknowledge them.

Today I'm grateful for this pic, and blurb, from Amy's blog:


"Van Gogh's self portrait with my foot!
Just for you Donna!
Side story: I searched the whole place for the most famous painting I could think of so that it would be just right for this picture. I had to have Lindsey hold my camera so I could HEFT my leg up that high then try to hold it still in mid-air! This thing was pretty far off the ground! Note: I am NOT flexible! So I pulled some major hamstring trying this, and it still didn't get very close to the painting! HAHAHAHAHA! That's as good as it was going to get!!!(For those of you who are confused, click on Donna's blog on my sidebar and start reading under her "My Foot" label. Or just know that she has a little tradition of doing this and I find it utterly, awesomely hilarious.)"


Who's not going to like someone thinking their foot tradition is "awesomely hilarious" instead of "insanely dorky?" I mean, really.

I think the foot tradition is "awesomely hilarious" too. . . perhaps there should be some sort of contest. No contest insinuates a prize. . . maybe a challenge! With all the summer travels ahead from all your loyal foot fans it would be cool to see some sort of collection. Your own Museum of Art (or bunions). Hmmm. . . just a thought.

Hmmm... I'm liking the challenge idea. The wheels are turning. Anyone have any thoughts about what this could be or how it would work?

Awww, you are fun. Glad you liked it. :D

As for the challenge - YES! Don't think there needs to be much to it, if you didn't want to have a contest, just "collect" foot pictures and showcase them here. Love it!
