I don’t know many people who didn’t watch it . . . so I’ve been holding this post for a time I thought was appropriate, and after last night, I think it’s “time” to share.
No matter your political leanings, IMHO, last night was a circus, and not in a fun way. Today I search for a kind of peace that may not be possible, but this tidbit shared with me by my buddy Diva J is certainly needed.
I hope you too can find some peace amongst the chaos that has been 2020.
There is no doubt, this has been “one of those years” and I’m pretty sure we’re ready for it to “move on”! So while we are being made painfully aware of all our racial, gender and political differences, I share below a fun list . . . of differences.
It’s relevant in my own extended family, over the pronunciation of the word “Aunt”. How many of these have you run across?
I want to age like sea glass.
Smoothed by tides,
but not broken.
I want my hard edges to soften.
I want to ride the waves
and go with the flow.
I want to catch a wave
and let it carry me
to where I belong.
I want to be picked up
and held gently by
those who delight in my
well earned patina and
appreciate the changes I went
through to achieve that beauty.
I want to enjoy the journey
and always remember that if
you give the ocean something
breakable it will turn it into
something beautiful.
I want to age like sea glass.
