INSTRUCTIONS: Whilst in Scotland, I couldn't help but notice that along the roadway, there were signs posted, simply saying, "Thank You". These signs were as regular as stop signs, or speed limit signs.
I asked my grandfather,"why are there Thank You signs posted?"
He replied,"Well, it's thanking us for driving safely. Also, if you can't read the sign, you're driving too fast."
He may have been telling the truth, but I preferred to interpret the sign at face value, like a bumper sticker that says, "Don't be a jerk." Just "Thank You".

Make a Thank You sign, and post it appropriately.
Thank you.

This is a follow up to my Keep Marching On praxis. I said in that post that I almost immediately regretted doing what I had done. I didn't really expound on that. I know what I did needed to be done, just as I know what I did for this task needed to be done. But as much as I regret the event portrayed in that picture, I still remember the bulk of the relationship as one of trust and caring. She was a beautiful, exciting, intelligent girl, and it hurts me to destroy memories of her, even painful ones.

But what I did wasn't about her any more than what I'm doing now is. It was about me and the person I was and the person I want to be. So I decided to follow up that destructive act with this purely constructive one. I decided to make a sign.

Keep Marching On has always seemed problematic to me; if i destroy my past, i forget it, and the parts that i most want to destroy are the parts that are most important to remember. You've solved this problem beautifully and constructively. Props.
