My dad used to say he could have built a wing on the church if he had saved all the money he found in streets and parking lots. Well, I didn't find any money today on my walk to the gym but I did find this small, blue toy soldier. He is the same kind of guy my grandson, Turner, used to stage mock battles all over my house when he was here for a visit. I would find them days later in very odd places.
But blue soldier man was not tiny enough for today's Picture-A-Day assignment so I kept looking down and started noticing an abundance of tiny blue flowers. They look like a miniture pansy or viola. Blue soldier man is using the field of tiny violas as cover against the invading forces of. . .hum, crickets? More blue soldiers? The army of people out walking the neighborhood tonight in this glorious 80 degree sunshine?
My advise to you is not to go through life looking down for the occasional penny or blue soldier man. Instead, look up and smile into the faces of your friends and family or the other neighborhood walkers with whom you are sharing the road.
Writing is an outlet for me to express my opinions, feelings and happy thoughts. My favorite topic is my family both past and present.
