Blank and Sturdy

Today I bought a tri-fold cardboard for a presentation I need to do.   I must have looked at 5 different kinds and ended up paying $2 more for the extra sturdy version.  It is something special- all blank and rigid with two neat folds and made from recycled cardboard.  I carried it carefully to my car so as not to ding the corners.

 I have to admit it. I was giddy. 

I actually had a little "coming to Jesus" with myself in the parking lot to reign in my overwhelming desire to run like a wild lady back into Staples.  I really wanted that  giant assortment of multi-colored slim Sharpies and some rubber cement. 

 My mind raced all the way to school thinking of the clever and unusual things I could put on that board for my presentation.  Oh, the possibilities!!!

I was thinking, "Tri-fold cardboard, an everyday miracle!"

But then I realized, it wasn't the cardboard.  It was the potential making me smile. 
That blank slate, the unfettered line, the whole world in a tri-fold! 

P.S- I set up the tri-fold on my kitchen table for inspiration. It is adjustable and not easy to knock down- just the way I like my potential. :)
