I never really liked these posters. I'm not sure why, probably because I saw them every where and never understood the desire for the ones that said things like "Keep Calm and Go Shopping" or something similarly ridiculous. But after seeing this video I think I'd like one. There's something beautiful about knowing the meaning behind these words even though they were written in a time of war and sadness and terror. These simple words, why are they so powerful and meaningful now?

I love this!!! Wow! I was always one who totally disliked those posters too. For some reason I always thought they were "new". I simply love the story behind them, and I think I will also blog about it too now! ;) Thanks so much for sharing!
BTW, are you married to Mike??
Oh, yes! I see on FB that this is you! My Mike is your Mike's cousin and the three of us went to high school together. :) Nice to see your blog -- I've really been enjoying reading through your posts. I especially liked your Henry Miller rules post. Mike is an author and I will SO be sharing that with him. If you ever want to stop by our blog, you can find it at http://anewimpressionism.blogspot.com. :)
Oh hi! Thanks for reading my blog and commenting. It's nice to know that someone other than my Mike reads it! Looking forward to check out your blog too.
