Why did my finger stop today on one specific photo?
A smile was needed. It had been a rough day. I was on a site visited infrequently.
Was it meant to "pop up" today? To remind me of Mom in a special way?
I believe there's a reason; We don't always see when we first look.
It takes time to absorb and understand the power of the past in the present for the future.
In Spring, Summer & Fall, when Mom walked outside, suddenly, in the grass, she'd spot a Four Leaf Clover.
She would bend down, carefully pick this Good Luck symbol, offer it to whoever was walking with her.
It gives me hope, once again, with the struggles and the challenges.
There are bright and shining moments, continuing positives surrounding our daily lives.
Mom gave the gift of sharing & caring to everyone.
She didn't have to look for it. The good luck symbol found her.
Mom found the beauty, the love and the possibilities, even in the darkest moments of life.
I miss her. I miss my husband. The "good" memories, times past, guide me today.
We Women prefer to see the Rainbows of Life.
We weather the storms, We struggle in the darkness, Celebrating the light emerging, the light shining through.
Our belief is tomorrow, if we work for today, will be better.
The photo, a "wealth of 4 leaf clovers"
My Cousin's daughter has this "family gift". Reappearing generation to generation.
Finding "joy" and "hope" beneath our feet, on our path. . . just look for it.
It gives hope for bright, shining moments. Continuing positives. surrounding daily lives.
