"Birthdays may come just once a year, but should be celebrated all year long." ~Mama HenLittle Chick has been wanting a friend for her fish Goldie. I explained to her that Goldie is a Japanese fighting fish and can only be in the bowl by herself. So she decided that she wanted to get another bowl that can sit beside Goldie. She used her Birthday money from her Aunt Marcy (thank you Aunt Marcy) and bought her new fish, the bowl and the rocks. She named this fish Sapphire. She had so much fun putting in the rocks and introducing Goldie to Sapphire. Happy Smile Sunday!
ws me much time to contemplate. Today I looked at the lines etched around her eyes and neck. I stared at my own hands and arms and remembered all of the scars and the stories behind each one. There were by far many more freckles or should we say sun spots all along my arms and the signs of getting older could be seen in my hands. As I looked at her and then myself I really started thinking about all the laughter, tears and life that brought these marks of living onto our being. If each line could talk, what would they say? We all have a story to tell and the older we get it is important not only to tell them, but also to listen. After all, what more to life is there then our "story". No one else shares our marks of time, which makes them precious and us so unique.
