DEDICATION

Dedication……

Complete and whole hearted devotion. That is dedication. Think about that for a moment. Who has that? Who can truly say they have complete and whole hearted devotion?

Well, I experienced that this past weekend at a gigantic flea market. How do those vendors do it? How do they go to these festivals day in day out, weekend in weekend out, setting up, unpacking, packing and taking their prize possession with them to the next event? I stand amazed!

THAT, my friends, is dedication!

I saw everything you could imagine being sold. Bubble gum to antique furniture. I, myself, found a beautiful vase. Yes, I bought it. I saw so many things I wanted to buy, but refrained. Glenn, on the other hand, went with a list of things in mind. He found everything he had on his list. It was a treat to watch him in his element of search. That, too, was dedication. He didn’t just buy the first thing he saw. He actually had a little notebook and wrote down where he saw it and then he continued to search to see if he could find something he liked better.  In some cases he did and in some cases we went back for items. My vase was one we went back for. I can proudly say I purchased it with particular flowers in mind and together they look beautiful. My entire investment… $7.

Im still mesmerized by the dedication of the vendors. How on earth do they do it? Bartering, and ready to make a deal. But to do it day in and day out…no way I could be a vendor like that. Im selfish and enjoy my weekend way to much to sit in the hot humid weather, watching people digging through my items to find their prize possession.

When you stop to think about it…what would you say you are dedicated to with complete and whole hearted devotion?

Blessings,
