chair i was trying to pull my phone up but it was one of those super cute and inspiring and moreover the story kind of e mail i got and it's like been forwarded ten hundred billion times you know down the line and i received and i thought what a nice inspiring thought so i want to read it to you an elderly chinese woman had two large pots each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck one in the while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walks from the stream to the house the crack pot arrived only half full for a full two years this went on daily with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water of course the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments but the poor crackpot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do after two years of what perceived to be bitter failure it spoke to the woman one day by this stream i am ashamed of myself because because this crack in my side causes water to leak all the way back to your house the old woman smiled did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path but no not on the pot side that's because i've always known about your flaw so i planted flowers seeds on your side of the path and every day while we walk back you water them for two years i have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table without you being just the way you are there would not be this beauty to grace the house so each of us has their own unique far but it's the cracks in the flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding you've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them so chair and happy thanksgiving to
