The Gods changed them to one of the smallest creatures to teach them to lighten up and enjoy life. She said the dragonfly's message is to let go of petty things, and not to let yourself get so serious you can't find your happiness. I have so many stories about times that I was stressed out or really upset, and dragonflies made an appearance molments before the whole situation changed for the better. I learned to love them so much I got a tattoo of a blue and purple one on my calf.
