Crabs In A Bucket

Crab Mentality Coffee Mug Design

Place one crab in a bucket and it can claw it's way out. Place more than one and the crabs will hold each other down and stay trapped. You set a goal and stick with it - no matter who supports you or does not support you. On the other side: you be a cheerleader for someone else instead of having the crabs in a bucket mentality.

Miller Lane Farmhouse Prints

Sweet Simple Things Miller Lane Collection Farmhouse Style

There is peace and tranquility that can be found in the country and a little bit of country is good for the soul. If you are out on a country drive the neighbor's all wave and smile at you, even when you're going 20mph in a 40mph zone. Nobody seems to be in a hurry. No honking of horns, yelling, or even a rude hand gesture. They pass you. Wave and smile.
