Feb26

i loved this. and then it got even better.

Posted on February 26, 2015 by beth

this was sent to me

by

my sister

and

i could

identify

with

every word

for it’s

an

approach

to life

that i share

with the small boy

in the words above

and then

there was

the orange sticky note

that

she attached

to it

and i

saw

this

as

a

wonderful

compliment

and

a

precious

gift

for

it shows

that

she truly

knows

who i am.

It’s not adults don’t play because they haven’t time – it’s because they have forgotten how to play and how to use the most powerful tool of all – their imagination. You have a marvelous sister.

That is exactly how I imagine you. Your posts always have that feel about them – as if you’ve discovered riches through the eyes of that same child. It’s a wonderful compliment from your sister. Wonderful, too, that you still have that gift. I can see the steam rising and hear the whistle glowing from here.

    this is a great format…so I can add that my sisters were sad the day I got born! and it would be sorta hard for anybody to read this part, right? because with my luck, somebody might wise-crack that those two might have been on to something? not having a really great winter here in the land of wrestling clubs and pizza huts.

Yep, this is me, too. Not just waiting for the train, but watching people do things while I wait–my mechanic doesn’t even flinch when I hang around to watch him unbolt things from beneath my truck and reattach or replace other things. I told him long ago that I’m not trying to supervise–I’m just easily entertained. I’d follow the waitress into the kitchen to watch the cooks fix my meal if I could.
