Tired of the negativity in the signage I saw everywhere I walked, I decided to start leaving a yes message of some sort out there every day. <br /><br />All you need is a fine point sharpie marker or some other way to write <span style="font-style:italic;">yes</span> on your stones. Stones are available everywhere ~ I usually find mine along the roadside. A few days ago I dug a hole in my garden and dozens of perfect <span style="font-style:italic;">yes</span> stones were brought to the surface. Now they are out and about, around town with little <span style="font-style:italic;">yeses</span> printed on them.<br /><br />I give each stone a good thought, something positive, before leaving it somewhere.<br /><br />suggestion:<br /><br />~ keep a bowl of <span style="font-style:italic;">yes</span> stones near your door, and when you leave in the morning, put one in your pocket. think positive thoughts, and surreptitiously leave it where someone may see it. I find that very small smooth stones work the best. <br /><br />Please submit your yes project stone photos to: eddiewilbury at yahoo dot com or post them on your blog. I decided on the word yes (oui, si, po, jes, ydw, aye, e, ) because it's usually a very short word (except in Swahili anyway) and we see the word NO far too often when we are out and about.yeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379454940658891714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941043980035390334.post-24687318599071066392008-09-01T12:16:00.000-07:002008-09-01T12:18:14.223-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H6No8_eO5B4/SLw_5vF3uEI/AAAAAAAAAC0/XHyxlGWlTl0/s1600-h/L1060634.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H6No8_eO5B4/SLw_5vF3uEI/AAAAAAAAAC0/XHyxlGWlTl0/s400/L1060634.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241134327478597698" /></a>yeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379454940658891714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941043980035390334.post-87644577097701638942008-05-08T20:21:00.001-07:002008-09-01T12:23:21.417-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H6No8_eO5B4/SLxA2ncZyPI/AAAAAAAAADE/zJNPGS7rq1c/s1600-h/L1070175.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_H6No8_eO5B4/SLxA2ncZyPI/AAAAAAAAADE/zJNPGS7rq1c/s400/L1070175.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241135373397641458" /></a>yeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379454940658891714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941043980035390334.post-47590491132709949362008-01-01T12:18:00.000-08:002008-09-01T12:20:50.825-07:00New Year's Resolution: Yes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H6No8_eO5B4/SLxAfyi_tuI/AAAAAAAAAC8/gY5K3grAvE8/s1600-h/L1060606.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H6No8_eO5B4/SLxAfyi_tuI/AAAAAAAAAC8/gY5K3grAvE8/s400/L1060606.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241134981241091810" /></a>yeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379454940658891714noreply@blogger.com
