Stitching with a Smile!

Thoughts run around in my head. The negative thoughts bully the positive thoughts. They push, they shove and they like to be loud.
Positive thoughts don't push, they don't scream. Positive thoughts sing softly and need quiet to be heard.
Stitching quiets the bullies, lulls them, they need to rest. I can then hear the positive thoughts singing. Each positive thought gets one-on-one attention. Stitching brings order in the chaos.
So when I stitch I smile. You may not see the smile if you're watching, but it's there, always, on the inside.

This is from The Essamplaire, The Four Agreements - http://www.theessamplaire.com/index.php

What a beautiful piece. I love the birds and the vines and the colours are very cheery. Remember, Mom, if you make this for me I will gladly take care of the framing!

This post is for my mother who is thinking of buying this but wanted help in converting the fabric. It is listed as stitched on 40 count which would be too difficult to see. So, as a good daughter who happens to excel at math (!), here are your conversions (all stitched over two threads):
36 count: 18.3" x 8.3"
32 count: 20.6" x 9.4"
30 count: 22" x 10"

These numbers are rounded, so err on the larger size.

Happy Stitching!
