"Life is 10 percent what you make it and 90 percent how you take it."
— Irving Berlin
Isn't that about right 😊 Well, I had an experience in Ruidoso that gave me a new perspective.
When setting up, I was just about finished when I noticed this big honking power strip staring back at me, right in the middle at the top of my booth.
I told my neighbor in the back of me I really don't want it there, it's showing in my booth. He saw me, heard me and ignored me.
So, I went over to where he was and said your power strip isn't showing in your booth at all but it's really obvious in mine. Him and his partner continued setting up and acted like they didn't hear me.
So I said ok it is what it is. So it was up to me to fix this so people wouldn't be distracted by this thing.
With a little maneuvering I figured out I could put my sign right in the middle, hiding the power strip and making my sign more noticeable! Ahhh leave it to an artist eh?
Usually artists are so kind at art shows, but these two just didn't get the memo that it's a choice to be a jerk and they didn't have to.
Most importantly, I found a new way of making my art more visible so maybe that was the point all along eh?
Looks good there don't you think?
Just goes to show attitude is everything and life is good 🩷
Love is in the art🩷
